I love a slice, especially if there is coconut involved so it’s fair to say that raspberry coconut slice is high on my hit list. It’s an oldie but a goodie. I’m sharing my fave jammy delight.
This is the perfect slice to whip up for afternoon visitors, add a dollop of cream and pop it on a pretty plate and this simple little sweet treat shines. My boys love it warm with some ice cream too…just sayin.
WHAT YOU NEED…
1/2 cup castor sugar.
90g softened butter.
1 egg.
2/3 cup Plain flour.
1/3 cup Self Raising flour.
1/2 cup raspberry jam.
TOPPING…
2 eggs.
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut.
2 crushed Weet-bix.
1/3 cup castor sugar.
LET’S MAKE THIS…
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line a slice tin approx 20×30 cm is perfect.
In a bowl (I use my bench mixer) beat butter, sugar and egg until fluffy.
Add sifted flours and mix. Pop this in your lined pan and spread evenly.
Coconut and jam slice doesn’t work without raspberry jam so dollop it on top of the base and spread using the back of a spoon.
In a separate bowl make coconut topping, just whisk eggs with a fork, add Weet-bix, sugar and coconut.
Spread coconut topping over jam and pop into oven for around 30-35 minutes, make sure the top is gorgeous and golden.
Cool in pan then remove, slice and get it in your gob!
Or serve on a pretty plate and make yourself a pot of tea…then get it in ya gob 🙂
Jammy coconut slice, so simple but always a winner. What’s your favourite treat to bake with coconut?

I love coconut anything but I think my chocolate coconut slice is probably my favourite! This one looks jam-tastic!
Ohahhh, I like chocolate ‘anything’…will have to try them x
I do make one very similar..be interesting to try the Weetbix on top and I also use blueberry jam..nice to swap around the jam flavours for a change..Thanks for sharing xx
The Weet-Bix adds another texture, you could also try crushed nuts. I used to adore blueberry jam as a teenager YUM
I’m out tomorrow evening and need to take a sweet plate! Have been considering Chocolate Caramel Slice, then yours popped up. Reminds me of my Louise slice. So now I’m in a spin as to what to bake. May as well make two, yours and the Chocolate Caramel. Decisions some days to hard! But thanks yours looks delishxxxx
All the pantry ‘basics’ in this slice and its so easy! Make both and enjoy xx
Looks fantastic! Jammy!
Tastes pretty fab too
they look great jen!
I’m sure it’s the one mum used to make!
these days I try not to eat gluten as doesn’t agree with me!
never mind! … thanks for the yummy memories though!
love m:)X
Try them with almond meal I reckon they would work fab x
That looks yum. I should give it a go this weekend instead of sorting out my linen sheets cupboard 🙂
Oh for sure, but sheets are so yummy too…especially clean sheet night 😉
I wonder if this works well with other kinds of jam such as blueberry as that is a favourite in this household. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Absolutely…use any jam 🙂
