Jumble
Makes about a dozen credit-card-sized pieces of a choc-coconut slice known in the deep south of New Zealand as Jumble.
Base:
4 ounces butter
4 ounces sugar
1 egg
1 cup plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup coconut
1 tablespoon cocoa
Combine in a bowl and then spread onto a buttered slice tray (A4-ish size).
Bake at 180c for 20 minutes.
… meanwhile …
Icing:
1 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 teaspoon soft butter
1 tablespoon hot water (to help melt the butter)
Mix together and spread over Jumble base once it’s out of the oven and still hot. Sprinkle with coconut.
Slice while still warm.
(That was the recipe as it was given to me. I’ve added a bit of hot water. It’s a pretty dry recipe; a splash of hot/boiling water can be added to melt the butter and lighten the mix a bit – this doesn’t seem to hurt the final product).

I’ll try to remember to bake some and bring it along to the next IA Cocktail Hour.
