Makes: 16 pieces
Ingredients
For the Base
- 150 g gluten free flour
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 200 g sugar
- 80 g desiccated coconut
- 45 g gluten free weet-bix, (3 Weet-Bix)
- 175 g butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
For the icing
- 250 g icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 25 g butter
Instructions
Make the base:
- Heat oven to 180℃.
- Spray an 8" (20cm) square cake tin with oil spray (or rub it with butter), and line it with two criss-crossed strips of baking paper, making sure it hangs over the edge slightly. We will use this to lift the slice out later.
- Sift the gluten free flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and xanthan gum into a large bowl. Add the sugar and coconut and whisk it all together to combine well.
- Crumble the gluten free weet-bix into the bowl. Aim to have some slightly larger chunks, if you want extra crunch in your slice. Mix it all together well.
- Melt the butter, and add it to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer with the back of a spoon or spatula.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until evenly risen and set. Depending on your oven, 15 minutes should give you a chewy slice, and 20 minutes will give you a crunchier slice. Allow it to cool before icing.
Make the icing:
- Sift the icing sugar and cocoa together into a medium sized bowl and whisk to combine.
- Melt the butter, and add it, along with the vanilla, to the icing sugar mixture.
- Add 2 tablespoons of warm water, and mix. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, until the icing is smooth and spreadable.
- Spread the icing over the cooled base, and allow to set. You can speed this up by popping it in the fridge.
- Cut the slice into squares using a large sharp knife.
- Store the weet-bix slice in an airtight container.
Notes
Gluten free Flour - I use my homemade gluten free flour blend in this recipe but it should work with any other gluten free flour blend.
Xanthan gum - Omit this if you're using a store-bo0ught gluten free flour blend that contains a gum ingredient.
Gluten free Weet-Bix - These are made from sorghum, not wheat, and can be found in the gluten free cereal section of the supermarket.
