Mocha Squares
Mocha Squares. An oaty, chocolate base topped with coffee butter icing.
Ingredients
Base
- 8 oz or 225g butter melted
- 8 oz or 225g granulated sugar
- 8 oz or 225g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 2 oz or 55g cocoa powder
- 5 oz or 140g porridge oats (oatmeal)
Topping
- 2 tbsp Camp coffee essence or use 2 tbsp of strong coffee
- 2 oz or 55g butter
- 8 oz or 225g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C (conventional oven). Adjust your temperature if you have a fan-assisted oven.
- In a large bowl, sieve the flour and baking powder then mix in the cocoa powder, sugar and porridge oats.
- Stir in the melted butter and mix until incorporated. Press this mixture into a lined 8"/20cm square tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. The base will have turned slightly darker and will still be a little springy to the touch when it comes out. Leave it to cool in the tin.
- For the topping, melt the butter with the coffee essence. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and then add the melted ingredients and mix well. Spread this coffee icing over the base.
- Leave to set in the tin, then cut into squares.
