Homemade Chocolate Coconut Slice made from scratch.

Chocolate Coconut Slice

(1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter

(1/2 cup) brown sugar

(1/4 cup) caster sugar

vanilla extract

(1 cup) plain flour, sifted

baking powder

(1/4 cup) cocoa powder, sifted

(1/2 cup) desiccated coconut

(1/2 cup) chocolate chips

(1 and 1/2 cups) icing or powdered sugar, sifted

butter, melted

water

(1/4 cup) shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper.

Place butter in a heatproof bowl. Heat in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and smooth. Add sugars and vanilla and mix to combine. Add egg and stir.

Sift in the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder and coconut and mix until combined.  Add the chocolate chips. Mixture will be thick and chocolate-y.

Place the chocolate batter into your prepared tin and press down to form one even layer. 

Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting, sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a large mixing bowl. Add butter and 1 tablespoon of boiling water and stir to combine. If the frosting is too thick, add other tablespoon boiling water.

Spread frosting over cooled chocolate slice. Sprinkle over shredded coconut. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set. Cut into squares and serve.

These were great! I loved the fudgy icing!

Hi love this recipe but I only have a 9 inch square tin would that be okay?

If I don't use the baking powder will it make a massive difference? Thanks

Thanks Jess, what about if I used self raising flour?

I used to make this as a child but this is an even better recipe! We thoroughly enjoyed eating these. Thanks so much!

"I've never been able to refuse these bars - that caramel filling floors me every time," says Natalie Paull. This is an edited extract from Beatrix Bakes by Natalie Paull (Hardie Grant Books, $45).
