Method

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.
