Ingredients

Base

180 gram butter

2 tablespoon golden syrup

150 gram brown sugar (about 1 cup, loosely packed)

2 cup oats

1 cup wholemeal flour (plain can be used)

1 cup desiccated coconut

3 heaped tbsp cocoa

2 teaspoon baking powder

Topping

3 tablespoon butter

1 1/2 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Small handful of Fresh As freeze-dried raspberries (available in supermarkets)

Method

1.Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a sandwich tin with baking paper.

2.For the base, melt together the butter and golden syrup. In a bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together. Pour in the melted butter and golden syrup, then mix well. Press firmly into the tin in an even layer. Bake for 25 minutes.

3.For the topping, cream the butter, icing sugar and lemon juice together until smooth and paste-like.

4.Once the base is cooked and still slightly warm, spread over the topping and sprinkle with raspberries.

5.Slice when completely cold and store in an airtight container. This slice will stay fresh for about a week.

Makes 20-24 pieces. – Try leaving an overhang of baking paper when lining the tin. It makes it easier to move the cooled slice to a chopping board prior to slicing.
