Raspberry Coconut Slice Ingredients:
Please note you will find the full recipe ingredient list and method in the recipe card below:
- Plain Flour
- Baking Powder
- Caster Sugar
- Butter

- Coconut – I recommend using desiccated coconut for this recipe.
How to Make Raspberry Coconut Slice:
- Combine the butter, sugar, flour and baking powder until it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Add the egg and mix to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking tray and gently smooth the surface.
4. Place the base of the slice into the oven and bake until just golden.
5. Add the jam.
6. Combine the ingredients for the toping in a bowl.
7 Sprinkle over the top of the slice.
8. Bake until golden. Allow to cool completely before slicing into pieces.
Tips for Making the BEST Raspberry Coconut Slice:
- The mixture for the base will be soft, this is normal. I find it easier to use two spoons to spread the mixture across the slice tin.
- You can use any type of jam for this recipe.
- It is best to use desiccated coconut for this recipe.
- Although tempting, do not use more jam than specified as it can make the base of your slice soggy.
- It is important to ensure the base of the slice is golden after the first bake, otherwise you will end up with a soggy base.
- To store, place in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Raspberry Coconut Slice
This classic Raspberry Coconut Slice is packed with flavour, requires just a few ingredients and best of all is simple to make! Perfect with a cup of tea or served on a plate for your next special occasion. Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
Equipment
- 1 x 18x28cm slice tray
Ingredients
- 125 grams butter
- ⅓ cup caster sugar 80 grams
- 1 cup plain flour 150 grams
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 egg yolk
- 200 grams raspberry jam
Topping
- ½ cup caster sugar 110 grams
- 1 egg
- 1 cup desiccated coconut 85 grams
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a 18 x 28cm slice tin with baking paper. Make sure you leave plenty of paper hanging over the edges to help you remove the cooked slice from the tin.
- Place the butter, sugar, flour and baking powder into a food processor and mix until all the ingredients have just combined. Then add the egg yolk and continue to process until a soft dough forms.
- Spoon the dough into the prepared slice tray and smooth the surface – it will feel like you don't have enough mixture (I was freaking out!) but if you use two spoons to spread it, you will cover the surface. Place the slice tray into the preheated oven and bake for 13 – 15minutes or until the base has turned golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool for five minutes.
- Add the raspberry jam to the cooled slice and make the topping.
- To make the topping, lightly beat the egg before adding it to a bowl with the sugar and coconut. Mix the ingredients together well and sprinkle over the jam.
- Place the slice tray back into the oven to bake for 25 minutes or until the top turns golden brown.
- Allow the slice to cool in the tin before carefully transferring it to your bench top to cut into pieces.
Thermomix Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced) and line a 18 x 28cm slice tin with baking paper. Make sure you leave plenty of paper hanging over the edges to help you remove the cooked slice from the tin.
- Place the butter, sugar, flour and baking powder into your Thermomix bowl and blitz for 10 seconds on speed 7.
- Scrape down the sides of your bowl and add the egg yolk and blitz for 7 seconds on speed 3 or until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough into the base of the prepared slice tin. Use two metal spoons to help spread the mixture across the surface.
- Place the tray into the oven and bake for approximately 13 – 15 minutes or until the base has turned golden brown.
- Allow the base to cool for 5 minutes before adding the raspberry jam.
- To make the topping, place the caster sugar, egg and coconut into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 7 seconds, speed 2, REVERSE or until combined.
- Sprinkle the topping over the raspberry jam and bake the slice for a further 25 minutes or until the topping turns a lovely golden brown colour.
- Remove the slice from the oven and let it cool in the tin before carefully transferring to your bench top to cut into pieces.

Great recipe. Thanks. I made the thermomix version and it turned out great. I haven’t made this slice for a very long time, but so easy with the thermomix. Will be on my list for rotation of slices/biscuits/cakes to make.
