\"\"<\/a>Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Base<\/strong><\/p>\n

120g Butter, softened<\/p>\n

60g Icing Sugar, sifted<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp Vanilla Essence<\/p>\n

185g Plain Flour, sifted<\/p>\n

1 tsp Grated Lemon Zest<\/p>\n

Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n

100g Plain Flour<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp Baking Powder<\/p>\n

3\/4 Cup Dessicated Coconut<\/p>\n

3 Eggs<\/p>\n

1 Cup Caster Sugar<\/p>\n

Pulp of 2 Large, or 4 Small Passionfruit (or 170g tin Passionfruit Pulp)<\/p>\n

2 Tbl Lemon Juice<\/p>\n

1 tsp Grated Lemon Zest<\/p>\n

Icing Sugar to Dust<\/p>\n

Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, before I start I have to confess to being a lazy cook. \u00a0I DON\u2019T SIFT! \u00a0Never have, unless it is one of those finicky recipes that may not turn out properly if you don\u2019t. \u00a0And I probably never will. \u00a0But, if you like to follow rules, go right ahead and sift. \u00a0It probably helps.<\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Line an 18 x 27cm baking tray with baking paper so that the edges of the paper hang over the two long sides.<\/p>\n

Cream the butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer until it is pale and creamy. \u00a0Now this is one thing I always do, and I know it makes a difference. \u00a0Beat until you can beat no more.<\/p>\n

Then add your vanilla.<\/p>\n

Fold in the flour and zest using a metal spoon. \u00a0I don\u2019t know why it has to be metal, but I used one.<\/p>\n

Press the dough into the base of the pan and smooth the top. \u00a0Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s meant to be sticky.<\/p>\n

Bake the base in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it turns a lovely golden colour.<\/p>\n

Now for the filling.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a sifter, sift the flour and baking powder together and add the coconut.<\/p>\n

Lightly beat the eggs and the sugar in a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

Add the passionfruit pulp, lemon juice and zest.<\/p>\n

Add the dry ingredients and stir until combined.<\/p>\n

Pour over the base and bake for another 20 minutes or until firm to the touch.<\/p>\n

Cool in the tin, then dust with sifted icing sugar. \u00a0It\u2019s crucial to allow your slice to cool completely before slicing, otherwise you will have a Passionfruit Crumble on your hands, instead of a slice. \u00a0So, when it has cooled, cut it into approx. 12 \u2013 16 slices, depending on how large you like your slices.<\/p>\n

Enjoy with friends!<\/p>\n

This has been quite a lengthy post, but I just want to finish up by saying that this recipe is courtesy of the lovely Sandra at the\u00a0120dollarfoodchallenge.com<\/a>. \u00a0Love your recipes Sandra! \u00a0Hope to see you back soon.<\/p>\n
