How to Make 5 Cup Slice

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. Grease and line a 20 x 30 cm lamington/sponge roll tin with baking paper, ensuring the paper extends up and over the sides.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 1 cup sultanas, ½ cup chocolate bits, ½ cup peanuts, and 1 cup desiccated coconut over the prepared tin.
  4. Drizzle 1 can (397g) of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the dry ingredients.
  5. Cover the tin with a piece of greased foil.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes at 200°C (400°F).
  7. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C (350°F), remove the foil, and bake for a further 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tin.
  9. Melt 100g of good quality dark chocolate and drizzle evenly over the cooled slice.
  10. Allow the chocolate to set completely before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
