Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment.
  • Whisk flour, base sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Cut in cold butter until sandy crumbs form. Stir in vanilla.
  • Press crumbs evenly into the pan. Dock lightly with a fork.
  • Bake 12–14 minutes, until the edges look set but pale.
  • Spread raspberry jam over the warm crust in an even layer.
  • Beat egg whites until frothy. Whisk in topping sugar until glossy.
  • Fold in coconut and lemon juice. Dollop over the jam and spread.
  • Bake 20–23 minutes, until the coconut is golden and set.
  • Cool completely in the pan. Lift out and cut into 16 bars.

Notes

Variation: Swap raspberry jam for strawberry or add 1/2 tsp almond extract to the topping. Storage: Keep airtight at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for 2 months.
