Notes
- It is normal for some of the butter to pool on top of the slice when it comes out of the oven.
- It is important to let the slice cool completely before icing or cutting into pieces, otherwise you might end up with a crumbly, chocolate mess. You can place the slice into the fridge or freezer to speed up the cooling process.
- This slice can be served un-iced or you can top it with 100s and 100s, desiccated coconut or leave plain.
- The baked slice can be frozen for up to two months.
