Chocolate Slice Recipe

Preparation time: about 20 minutes (excludes baking time).

Makes 16 pieces (each about 5cm by 5cm).

20ml tablespoon and 250ml measuring cup for all of our recipes.

100g butter

60g dark chocolate

90g (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon, lightly packed) brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon natural vanilla essence)

80g (1 cup) desiccated coconut

50g (1/3 cup) self-raising flour

75g (1/2 cup) plain flour

1 large egg (we use eggs with a minimum weight of 59g)

2 teaspoons coconut, for sprinkling on top of slice

180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Celsius fan-forced). Grease and/or line a

20cm square cake tin.

Melt butter and chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. When mixture is smooth, remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and vanilla. Add coconut and flours and stir to combine. Add egg and mix well (the mixture should be quite wet/sticky at this stage). © exclusivelyfood.com.au
