I presume being a sugar company, Chelsea has gone for a high sugar recipe, but this has an extremely sweet base, a layer of sweet jam and a very sweet topping. This recipe bakes the base for 10 mins, let it cool then add the jam, currants and topping. The problem with this is that the base drops as it is only half cooked when the toppings are added. It does bake through when it goes back into the oven but the base is a disappointment. I think chilling the base in the refrigerator and cooking for the total time (with a tray on the rack above the cake if needed to stop the meringue browning too much) works a lot better., approved=true, user_name=Julie, hs_createdate=1702249871305, rating_new__1_5_=2, id=11175607422}, {comment_text=Lovely, approved=true, user_name=Val Palmer, hs_createdate=1702249870218, rating_new__1_5_=4, id=11175430972}, {comment_text=DELISH!!!!, approved=true, user_name=Emil, hs_createdate=1702249869098, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175506024}, {comment_text=This was great, I made this recipe gluten free by substituting the flour with coconut flour & gf baking powder.

So easy and not too much mess or fuss. I've improvised a couple of times with jams, using Strawberry and Wild berry a few times, but Raspberry is always nicer I find.

Method

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.
