Rules to live by #1: You can never ever have too many lemons. Add to that, raspberries, passionfruit and cream chesse. Okay, the rest are entirely optional…
If you’re a reader of my blog, you will know I’m rather passionate about recipes that use lemon juice, rind, or zest.
So, for all you lemon lovers out there, here is yet another recipe for lemon slice I found in the weekend. This one is slightly chewy, fruity and particularly moreish. It slices up really well and is very deserving of a big slab of thick lemony icing! No holding back here 🙂
Happy Friday!
Lemon Cornflake Slice
Makes 32 pieces
Base:
- 100 g butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup coconut
- 1 cup cornflakes
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup white plain flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
Lemon icing:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 3 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Preheat oven to 180°C. In a large saucepan melt butter, golden syrup and sugar together. Add remaining ingredients, and blend well.
Press the mixture into a greased 20cm x 30cm slice pan and bake for 15-20 minutes. Once the slice has cooled to room temperature, ice.
For the icing, beat together butter and icing sugar until smooth. Blend in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Spread over the base.
Slice up when the icing has set and store in an air-tight container.

Oh my giddy aunt, this sounds AMAZING! I am so making this. And soon. I love me some lemon slice.
This worked really well. The first day it was quite hard but it softened up after a day in the container and was delicious!
Yum!!!!
Glad you liked it!
This is delicious. I’m glad I found the recipe. About to make it again 🙂
