  This is so yummmy.Lovely and moist, would work well as a dessert with custard also. I halved the amount of sugar and doubled the oats in an attempt to make it a bit healthier. I didn't have any coconut the first time I made this so used almond powder instead which tasted great. Used frozen berries for the filling which seems to add more moisture.

  these were absolutely delicious - used frozen summer fruits (loganberries, blackberries, raspberries and redcurrents etc) and worked perfectly! will be making them more often now as blackberries are coming out soon and have a huge bag of coconut!!

  I'm reading all the tips - before I bake these - they look fabulous. But when you say soak the coconut - what do you soak it in - if it's just water - how much? and then does it absorb it or do you need to drain off? thanks

  Very tasty, surprisingly moist, I stuck to the recipe and used giant blackberries but this would be equally good with any berries. Easy to cut into squares for lunchboxes and I have also frozen some to try with custard.

  Made this after going Blackberry picking with the children. I only changed it a tad by upping the coconut to 100g, we all loved it, next time going to do it as a pudding with custard or cream :o)

  Made this today and did as suggested-only used 200g of light muscavado sugar.Came out lovely-really pleased.Used a swiss roll tin as I thought the square suggested size tin was too small.Didn't fill to end and it spread out itself really well.Delicious!

  I don't have a sweet tooth but my husband definitely does and he loved this cake. I wasn't sure when making it how it would turn out the cake mix seemed to go really soggy when adding the egg - it came out perfectly. Will be making this one again.

  We made these last year from brambles that we scrumped and they were delicious, albeit a bit of a guilty treat due to the amount of butter, and the cholestrol from the coconut too! Well worth the guilt though!

  Loved by everybody! Agree with other comments - completely versatile, can change the berries or reduce the sugar and increase the coconut etc!
