Coconut dream!

I've been craving something with coconut in it for ages so today I was looking for something easy that I could make with ingredients I already had at home! This coconut slice is so easy and simply delicious. It reminds me of when I was a kid and you can change it up with different jams and spreads! Enjoy! X

Coconut jam slice

Ingredients:
100g butter, softened
3 eggs
3/4 cup of caster sugar
1/2 cup self-raising flour
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup of buttermilk (which is just normal milk mixed with a 1/3 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice for acidity)
Strawberry jam (or whatever flavour you have)
1 cup of desiccated coconut and 3/4 cup of shredded coconut (or if you only have one just add slightly more like I did)

1. Preheat oven to 180 C or 160 C fan-forced. Grease a 20cm by 30cm tin and line with baking paper.
2. Beat together butter and 1/2 cup of caster sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg and beat until combined.
3. Soft both flours over wet ingredients and mix together. Add buttermilk and stir until combined.
4. Press mixture into base of tin. Spread jam evenly over base.
5. Beat remaining two eggs and 1/4 cup of caster sugar. Add in coconut then layer mixture on top of jam.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool before removing from tin and slice into squares.
7. Eat it all up!!!
