Method

For the base:

1. Preheat the oven to 180’C

2. Melt the butter and add the vanilla

3. Put the dry ingredients in a large bowl, pour in the butter mixture and combine well

4. Press the mixture into a lined slice tin

5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until firm

6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool

7. Ice with chocolate icing

8. Top with coconut

For the icing:

1. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a medium sized bowl

2. Pour in the melted butter and combine-the mixture will be stiff and lumpy

3. Add hot water in teaspoon portions.

4. Combine well after each addition until you have the consistency of icing you would like-generally like soft butter so it is easy to spread over the slice

5. Top with coconut if desired
