Ingredients

400 grams of soft butter 1 cup of caster sugar 1/2 a cup of icing sugar 1 egg 2 tablespoons of vanilla essence 1 tablespoon of cooking oil 1 teaspoon of baking powder 4 cups of cake flour

For filling

4 - 5 tablespoons of fine apricot jam 3 cups of fine coconut boiled in 2 cups of water and 1 cup of sugar , cinnamon sticks till water are cooked away . Cool and at 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence and remove cinnamon sticks .

Method

Cream/ mix the butter , icing sugar and caster sugar for 2 minutes , add the vanilla essence and oil , mix for another minute , add the egg and mix for a minute . Now add your all your dry ingredients and mix by hand till a dough is formed , from this dough cut of a piece the size of a tennis ball and cover in cling wrap and place in fridge , cover the remaining dough with cling wrap and chill in fridge for 30 minutes .

Take out only the large dough ball from the fridge . Press the dough onto a greased rectangular baking tin till up to the edges and borders , pressing the dough upwards to form a base . Now take your jam and spread over dough with the back of a spoon ... Cover the jam with the coconut and spread evenly . Now take out the tensing dough and take off the cling wrap . Take a grater and grate the dough evenly over the coconut mix .

Bake for 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 190 deg C , for a fan oven 170 deg C until golden brown .

Take out and allow to cool and serve .

My tip - you can use any jam , add nuts or oats on top or even drizzle with some melted chocolate .
