Cherry and Walnut Slice

This is from Mavis.

The base:
¼ Lb brown sugar
¼ Lb Butter
1 big cup of flour
½ teaspoon Baking Powder

Cream all of this together and press into a 10” x 8” tin (or thereabouts).

Bake this for 10 minutes in a preheated oven around average temperature (each to their own though when it comes to the actual heat).

The Topping:
¼ Lb sugar
1 beaten (not whipped) egg
1 cup finely shredded coconut
1 teaspoon melted butter
1 Lb cherries (take the stones out)
¼ Lb walnut pieces

Mix this all into a crumble and sprinkle over the base and bake again for 20 minutes at medium heat.
