My mother made this Louise cake recipe all her life. Was a staple in our house from the 1950's. Never can remember a cup of tea without the tin of Louise cake coming out... very fond memories. I have made it myself but for good coconut coverage I find you need 3 egg whites.

Instead of 1 and 3/4 cup flour, use 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup almond flour. Thank me later. :)Excellent recipe I have made it many many times, works well with gluten free flour (use above mix, but standard GF flour and almond flour) apricot jam is also fantastic, and plum has been delicious too.If making for people who hate coconut, shredded almonds is a good substitute for the coconut.
Preheat oven to 170°C bake. Grease a 30cm x 20cm slice tin and line with baking paper.
Base Place butter and sugar in a large bowl and cream until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, then sift in flour and baking powder. Mix well until it resembles fine breadcrumbs, then press evenly into prepared tin.
Bake for 10 minutes then remove from oven to cool for 5 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 180°C.
Topping Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat until they form stiff peaks. Add the sugar a little at a time and 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 mixture on top. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until pale golden and set. Cool in the tin, then remove and slice into squares.
Additional tips
Top with freeze dried raspberries before serving, if desired.
