Cutting to the chase - this is good but really bad for you.....Not rocket science people if it's in the house, someone has to eat it. Make it at your peril.....it went straight to my bruised arse. You were warned.
Weet-Bix Cake from the book: The Kindness of Strangers – Kitchen Memoirs
by Shonagh Koea
Four Weet-bix
Two dessertspoons of cocoa
One cup of flour
Half a cup of sugar
Half a cup of desiccated coconut
100 grams of butter
Crush the Weet-bix thoroughly and finely into a bowl. Add the cocoa, flour, sugar (I like brown sugar but any granulated sugar will do, depending on what you have in the cupboard) and coconut. Melt the butter and add to the dry ingredients and mix well. This is quite a crumbly mixture. Press it out very firmly into a greased sponge roll tin and bake in a moderate oven (about 160 degrees Celsius) for fifteen minutes. I find it helps to press the edges down very firmly with the flat side of a knife. The old way of having this sieve was to put a thin dribble of chocolate icing over it while it was still warm and, when the icing was firm enough, to cut the slice into squares, usually about twenty- four. Nowadays I quite often just cut it into finger shapes and dust it with icing sugar rubbed through a little sieve, or cut it into triangles for desert. You can really do anything you like but it is a quick, handy little recipe and can be useful. Best kept in the refrigerator.
