Banana and Chocolate Chip Slice

Asked by: Liz Anderson

Hi, the recipe calls for golden caster sugar. What can I use instead. It is for Delia's Banana and Chocolate chip slice. Thanks

Answered by Lindsey: Hello, Just use ordinary caster sugar if you cannot get the golden. Kind regards Lindsey

Method

First of all, sift the flour into a large, roomy mixing bowl.

Then add the butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs (you can do this stage in a food processor, if you like). Next, stir in the sugar, chopped bananas and the chocolate (don’t be alarmed, it will look like a crumble mix). Now press the mixture evenly into the greased and lined tin and bake it on the middle shelf of the pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes or until it is firm to touch in the centre and lightly golden.

Leave the slice in the tin until it is cold. While the slice is cooling, make the topping by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl until light and fluffy, then cover with clingfilm and chill until needed. To finish, remove the slice from the tin to a wire rack, spread the chilled topping over, dust lightly with cocoa powder, if you like, and cut it into 12 pieces.

Store in the fridge if the slice is not all eaten in one go.
