How to Make Raspberry Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted margarine, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Cut in the margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Spread 1 cup raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs until light and frothy. Add 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the coconut mixture evenly over the jam layer.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
