Wholemeal Cafe Takaka

Ingredients

• 150g butter
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup coconut
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 teaspoons golden syrup
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 8 tablespoons icing sugar

Method

Preheat oven to 180 C. Melt butter, golden syrup and brown sugar in a saucepan; remove from heat. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl; stir into the pot and mix thoroughly. Press mixture into a non-stick or lightly greased 20 x 30cm slice pan; bake for 15-20 minutess . Mark into square while still warm. When cool, ice with hot ginger icing:

Heat all icing ingredients in saucepan until melted; beat until smooth and pour over the cool base. When completely cold cut through icing and separate squares

NOTE:  the recipe photographed has been made with a thicker icing which is my preference.  To make this increase the icing sugar, mixing until it is thick and smooth.
