Brown Stuff (Chocolate Slice) - Don't Be Put off by the Name !
By: kiwidutch
Nov 1, 2003
The "Brown Stuff" name is what happened when Mama let Papa name the new recipe 35 years ago. Well, don't let the name put you off! It's an easy one and has become a real family favourite. Apparently it started life as a cake recipe of some sort which wouldn't quite work out right, so, liking the ingredients, she tinkered with it until she arrived at this. 
Pa's job was to come up with a name when she wrote it into the family recipe book.
1 25x40cm baking tin
Ingredients
- 125 g butter (4.4 oz)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Topping
- 1/2 cup coconut
- 2 tablespoons butter (30 grams)
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup icing sugar (or as preferred..see below)
Directions
1
Cream the butter and sugar.2
Add the egg.3
Add the dry ingredients and mix well.4
Bake in a sponge roll tin (approx 25cm x 40cm) for 20 minutes at 190°C (375°F).5
To make the topping: melt the butter then add the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.6
While still hot, ice/ glaze with topping mixture.7
The amount of icing sugar often seems to depend on the humidity of the season -- but also who in our household is making it. Some of us like a thicker layer of icing than others! You need just enough to make it nice and spreadable.:).8
Note: My sponge roll tin is a very very old one from my grandmother. It seems a funny size compared with my other metric sized ones. It doesn't really matter if your baking pan is a little bigger or smaller, everything should still turn out fine.:).

This was a nice, easy recipe, but got I wasn't sure of the intent with the topping due to lack of directions. I guessed & mixed everything together without melting the butter, but it was still extremely dry, so I added some water. Other than that, it turned out great & DH gives 2 very enthusiastic thumbs up, especially over icecream. Thanks Kiwidutch for sharing this recipe.

This is very good! DH and I really enjoyed this with a cold glass of milk! I made it exactly like the recipe, except I added some milk to the icing just to make it a little more spreadable. The pan I used was a little too large, but the only problem with that was that the edges got too brown. I will also make more icing next time. I think a thicker layer would be heavenly! Made this is response the the recipe promo, Think Color! Thanks Kiwi and thanks to your Pa too!

This is different from what I had anticipated. It has a nice flavor and DH says he thinks it would be great with some ice cream. After melting the butter for the topping, I found that I needed to add some milk. I used 1/2 cup of sugar along with the coconut and cocoa powder. I used a 9x13 inch pan when making this.
