Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup butter, cubed and softened
- Filling:
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 eggs
- 1-3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries, quartered
- 2 cups shredded coconut or flaked coconut
- 1/4 cup icing sugar, (optional)
Preparation
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Sprinkle with butter; cut in with pastry blender until crumbly and moist enough to squeeze together. Spread in 13- x 9-inch (3.5 L) parchment paper–lined or greased metal cake pan, pressing to level. Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until light golden, about 20 minutes.
Filling: Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside. In separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and lemon juice; whisk in flour mixture.
Stir in cranberries and coconut. Scrape onto base.
Reduce heat to 325°F (160°C). Bake until pale gold and filling is firm in centre, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan on rack. (Make-ahead: Cover and store for up to 24 hours or wrap in heavy-duty foil and freeze in airtight container for up to 1 month.)
Cut into squares. Dust with icing sugar (if using)
