Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

Roll out coconut sweetcrust pastry and line your chosen tin or mould ( rectangular here).

Leave the spare pastry overhanging the edges and put to wait in the fridge.

Stage 2 - 3 min.

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Put 9.2 oz icing sugar and 9.2 oz dessicated coconut in a large bowl and mix with a whisk.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Add 4.2 oz egg white and mix with a spoon. The mixture should be fairly thick.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Take the pastry case out of the fridge and trim around the edge.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Prick all over the base with a fork or pastry pricker.

Stage 6 - 4 min.

Fill with a thick layer of the coconut mixture, ensuring it is even and level.

Stage 7 - 30 min.

Bake for about 30 minutes.

Stage 8

Leave to cool on a wire rack. Finish the cold cake with a dusting of icing sugar.

Remarks

The quantity of egg white is fairly flexible: feel free to add a little more or a little less to give the right texture to the filling mixture.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in a cake tin or box.
