It's been a while since I did a recipe from Kitchen Memoirs so heres one...a wee sweet treat!
American Crunch from the book: The Kindness of Strangers – Kitchen Memoirs
by Shonagh Koea
100 grams of butter
100 grams of sugar
One egg
200 grams of sifted flour
One teaspoon of baking powder
A tablespoon of cocoa
Frosting
One cup of icing sugar
One cup of dessicated coconut
Two tablespoons of cocoa
A large tablespoon of melted butter
A teaspoon of vanilla essence
Cream the butter and sugar together and beat in the egg. Add the sifted flour, baking powder and cocoa. Cook for ten to fifteen minutes at a moderate temperature (about 160 degrees Celsius) in a greased sponge roll tin. When cool, combine all the frosting ingredients and ice. If the is not enough liquid to make a nice spreadable icing, just put in a tiny bit of water. Cut the slice into fingers and serve with coffee as a treat.

Taste: It was off the scale for smell but was lovely and moist too - 2
Ease: My two helpers and I whipped it up with no problem 2
Didn't have dessicated coconut so just used thread coconut
