Belgium Slice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For the slice
120 g butter
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon golden syrup
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon mixed spice
1/2 cup raspberry jam
For the icing
2 cups icing sugar
1 teaspoon butter
water

Preparation

Cream butter and sugar, then add golden syrup then egg.
Mix in dry ingredients.
Roll out half of the mixture to cover the base of a 18 x 23cm slice tin.
Spread with raspberry and jam and then cover with the other half of the mixture rolled to fit (this patches really well).
Bake at 180c for 20 minutes.
For the icing, mix together the butter and icing sugar with enough hot water to make a smooth icing. You can add a couple of drops of raspberry essence, and sprinkle the top with pink jelly crystals.
