Chewy chocolate slice

Chewy chocolate slice

This delicious slice is a favourite in our house. It’s pretty easy to make and tastes even better after a few days (if there’s any left!).

Step one

First step – grease and line a rectangular pan so the baking paper hangs over the edges of the pan. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, egg, vanilla and butter.

Step two

Then, add the flour, coconut and cocoa and stir to combine.

Spread it

Spread the mixture into the pan and bake for 25 minutes at 160C degrees (fan-forced). Meanwhile, make the icing.

Icing

In a bowl, combine icing sugar, cocoa, butter and hot water and stir until smooth. You might need to add a bit more water to get it to the right consistency. I normally do.

Spread the icing

Spread the icing over the slice as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Coconut

Sprinkle with coconut and leave it to cool to room temperature.

Chewy chocolate slice

Cut into triangles and enjoy!
