The lunch lady used to cook this, and I feared the recipe was lost. Thankfully, I stumbled upon it, and it’s tastier than ever!

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar, divided

3 eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup raspberry jam

2 cups shredded coconut

Directions:

Kick things off by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Ready a 9×13-inch baking dish with a light greasing.

In a bowl, stir together the flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Introduce the cold butter to the mix until you achieve a crumbly texture.

Whisk 1 egg and vanilla together. Merge this with the flour and butter mixture, then press it onto the base of your baking dish.
