Haystacks

Name: Haystacks
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 35 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients: 280 g Salted butter; 280 g Caster sugar; 5 Large eggs; 280 g Self-raising flour; 1 dash Vanilla extract; 1/2 jar Raspberry jam; 200 g Desiccated coconut; 250 ml Double cream; 2 tbsp Icing sugar

These are a proper old school bake and a firm favourite in our house. It's my auntie Marnie’s recipe and my dad could polish off a full slab, that’s no lie. So it was only right I made him a batch for his birthday. It’s a simple one to make but there’s something so moreish about them. Especially when you heap a load of homemade vanilla custard over the top, or even better slice it in half and fill with fresh cream.

I had such fun making these cakes. I thought there might be too much batter for my dish so split it into a smaller square tin as well as the 9x12 tin. Tomorrow a vicky sponge, and chicken and leek pie.. Jonny - I managed to make jam! Thank you.
