Back to Steemit and back in the kitchen | Chocolate Slice

Hola Steemit,

I'm back after a hiatus in posting. I had a fairly stressful end/start to the year and so I took a break from posting.

Glad to be back though!

Here's a slice I wrangled up tonight. This is super easy and quick and better than wasting money at the store on processed desserts.

Let's begin!

Ingredients:

1 cup of flour
100g of Butter
1 heaped tablespoon of Cocoa Powder
1 cup of sugar

Icing:

2 cups of icing.
Tablespoon of cocoa powder
Small knob butter
Hot water

Method:

1. Melt the butter into saucepan until totally liquid.
2. Sift into a glass mixing bowl the flour, sugar and cocoa powder.
3. Pour in the butter and stir the mixture through until it forms a wet crumbly mixture.
4. Take a slice tray approximately 13cm x 20cm and place in a sheet of grease proof paper in.
5. Pour in the crumb mixture and press it into the tray.
6. Bake at 180 degree for 10 mins and take out of the oven and rest.
7. Pour icing sugar and cocoa and knob of butter into a power and add hot water. Stir until the icing is formed.
8. Pour onto the slice and allow it to cool and set.

Here's my results.

While resting in the slice tray:

Sliced and presented:

If you like your slice dry and crunchy, then leave it in the oven a little longer. If you like it soft, moist and chewy, then turn the oven down 10-20 degrees cooler.

Thanks for reading friends!
