Simple easy recipe. I enjoy swapping out the raspberry jam for others, including homemade feijoa and ginger jam which I found the recipe for on this website.

I used less baking powder, inadvertently adding it at the end. The base was crisper and didnt rise much, if at all, something I prefer. No complaints from family and friends who enjoyed it.

The recipe is great, I prefer use 3 egg whites to make the top.
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.
Great recipe especially when you use lemon curd instead of jam.
