Beautiful Blackberry & Coconut Squares

Beautiful Blackberry & Coconut Squares

An excellent idea for a perfect picnic,  treasured teatime, dashing dessert or in a luxury lunchbox

Shopping List:

250 gr self-raising flour
25 gr Oats (Quaker maybe)
280 gr light brown sugar
200 gr butter, straight out of the fridge in pieces
75 gr dessicated coconut
2 eggs, free range, beaten
about 350 gr  fresh or frozen blackberries, plus some extra for serving

Preheat your oven to 180C. Mix the self-raising flour, oats and sugar into one of your large bowls.
Rub the butter into it and mix with your fingertips until you have crumbles the size of pearls.
Loosely stir in the coconut. Then fill up a teacup with the mixture and put that aside.

Stir the already beaten eggs in the left over mixture and spread all of this in your prepared and lined baking tin or a square tin. (31x17cm) or (21cm ). Level the mixture as best you can and then scatter the  blackberries over it. Then sprinkle the teacups' reserved mixture.

Bake in your preheated oven for about 1 hour- 1 hour and 15 minutes (75mins) until the cake is golden. Test with your cake-tester to see if it is cooked through. Leave to cool in the tin.
Turn it out, remove the paper ( or not) and cut into squares. Serve with vanilla Ice cream which could be a perfect dessert. Or just some extra berries or other fruits de bois.
