Ingredients
- 200 g white baking chocolate, broken into pieces
- 125 g butter, chopped
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup SR flour
- ½ cup plain flour
- ¼ cup crunchy hazelnut spread
- Icing sugar, for dusting, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and paper line a 18 cm x 28 cm slice pan.
- Combine the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water until smooth; cool slightly then whisk through the eggs, sugar and vanilla.
- Stir in the coconut and sifted flours until well combined. Spoon into prepared slice pan. Drop teaspoonsful of the hazelnut spread randomly over the top of the mixture then lightly turn through with a knife to create a marble effect.
