Chocolate Coconut Slice

Makes about 20 slices


Ingredients:
250 g butter
1 cup sugar
1 T cocoa
1 T golden syrup
2 cups flour
2 t baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup coconut


Icing:
1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 T cocoa
1 T soft butter
1 1/2 - 2 T boiling water


1/4 c coconut to sprinkle over icing


Method:

1. Melt the first four ingredients in a pot. Do not let boil. Cool.
2. Preheat oven to 160°C fan bake.
3. Grease an 18 x 27cm baking pan and line with baking paper for easy lift out.
4. Add dry ingredients to coca mixture and press into pan.
5. Bake for 25 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, mix the icing ingredients together and beat well.
7. Ice the slice while warm, not hot, with chocolate icing and sprinkle the additional coconut over the top..
8. Cut into small pieces when cool.

Notes:
You don't need as much icing if you ice while warm this helps "melt" the icing making it go further. 
I have a gas oven, no fan, slice cooked nicely in 25 minutes at around 170°C.
