It could be useful to clarify, especially for young bakers, (in ingredients lists) that egg yolks are used in base and the whites in the topping. The whites just appear in the method.

This was great, I made this recipe gluten free by substituting the flour with coconut flour & gf baking powder. It turned out perfect.

Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease a 30cm x 20cm tin and line with baking paper.
Base In a bowl cream Tararua Butter and Chelsea Organic Raw Sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in one egg yolk at a time then sift in Edmonds Standard Grade Flour and Edmonds Baking Powder. Mix well until it resembles fine breadcrumbs then press mixture evenly into prepared tin.
Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven to cool for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 180°C.
Topping In a bowl beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Add the Chelsea Caster Sugar a little at a time; continue to beat until the mixture is thick and glossy. Gently fold in the coconut and vanilla.
Spread the raspberry jam over the prepared base then spread coconut topping over and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool in the tin then remove and cut into squares.
It could be useful to clarify, especially for young bakers, (in ingredients lists) that egg yolks are used in base and the whites in the topping. The whites just appear in the method.
