Lemon & Coconut Slice Recipe

One of the firm rules I was growing up with, was if visiting anyone, whether friend or family, never arrive empty-handed. Likewise, whenever we had visitors, there must always be a sweet treat on offer. Sometime these treats would be store-bought, but more often than not,us kids would be in the kitchen baking. One of our favourite recipes to bake was a lemon and coconut slice. In fact, it was firm favourite amongst family circles.

Regarding the recipe, I do find that baking turns out better when you weigh ingredients, rather than using volume measurements, such as cups or tablespoons, for dry ingredients. To make this foolproof, I highly recommend weighing out the ingredients, as I have. Baking is a bit like science. It can be really easy to ruin a recipe with a little too much this or not enough that. But if things are weighed? Delicious perfection.

I use fresh lemon juice for this lemon and coconut slice recipe. Though using long-lie lemon juice is perfectly fine also. You’ll still need a fresh lemon for the gorgeous fresh and vibrant lemon zest! Also, please wait for the cake to cool before sprinkling, generously, with icing sugar! Sprinkle too soon, and the icing sugar will melt into the slice instead!
