Equipment
- slice tin (27 x 17 cm)
Ingredients
Slice
- 1 cup SR flour (1 cup = 150 grams) (1 cup SR flour = 1 cup plain/all purpose flour + 2 teaspoons baking powder)
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ teaspoon bicarb soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ cup caster sugar (¾ cup = 160 grams)
- 1 egg, lightly beaten

Icing
- 125 grams block cream cheese
- 30 grams butter
- ¾ cup icing sugar (¾ cup = 110 grams)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- little extra nutmeg (sprinkled over icing, if desired)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius/355 degrees fahrenheit, fan-forced).
- Grease the slice tin and line with baking paper, leaving excess on the sides to lift out slice once cooked.
- Sift the flour, salt, bicarb soda and baking powder into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and stir through to combine.
- Add wet ingredients to mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Pour into prepared slice tin and smooth out mixture to ensure it's spread evenly in the tin.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely in the tin.
- Remove slice from the tin using overhanging paper. (Use a butter knife to release slice from edges of tin if necessary)
Icing
- Add all ingredients (apart from nutmeg) to a mixing bowl and beat with electric beaters until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread over completely cooled slice.
- Sprinkle with nutmeg and cut into 15 pieces (3 x 5).
Notes
Storing: Store the slice in an airtight container for up to 3 days (room temperature or fridge). If stored in the fridge, you can enjoy it cold or allow it to reach room temperature before serving.
Freezing: You can freeze the slice, un-iced, for up to 3 months. Wrap the slice in plastic wrap well before freezing and allow to thaw out in the fridge overnight when you're ready to enjoy.
