This is the most yummy traybake ever! My mum always cuts it into really big pieces and we fight over who gets the biggest one!
My mum always made this too – and I still make it now for my own family – it’s a great recipe. Sometimes I make it for the children with melted chocolate on the top instead of the coffee icing.
It travels well and is great for picnics and days out.
