Ingredients

Base:

100g softened butter

1/2 cup sugar

2 (large) egg yolks

1 tsp vanilla essence

1 cup self-raising flour

1 cup standard (plain) flour

Filling:

1/2 cup good quality raspberry jam

Topping:

2 large egg whites

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup coconut shreds

Directions

For base, put the softened butter and sugar in a food processor or large bowl. Separate two eggs, adding the yolks to this mixture (and put the whites in a very clean medium-sized bowl ready to use for the topping). Add the vanilla essence, mix the egg yolks through the softened butter and sugar, then add the two flours and mix again until evenly crumbly. Tip crumbly mixture into prepared pan and press down evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.

For topping, beat the egg whites and vanilla until frothy, then add the sugar and beat until the tips of peaks turn over when the beater is lifted from them. Then fold 1/2 cup of the coconut evenly through the meringue.

For filling, spread the jam over the uncooked shortcake.

Put the meringue in spoonfuls on top, then spread evenly with a knife. Sprinkle with the remaining coconut. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the meringue feels crisp and is evenly and lightly coloured
