1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Place a shallow 23cm flan tin on a baking tray. Tip the spices, coconut and sugar into a pan with 150ml water and cook over a low heat for about 5 mins, stirring frequently to ensure the mixture doesn't catch. Set aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line the flan tin. Trim off the excess pastry, fill the pastry case with baking parchment and baking beans and cook for 15 mins. Remove the beans and cook for 5 mins more so the pastry on the base of the tin is just cooked, but not brown.
3. Beat the egg and melted butter into the cooled coconut mixture, then spoon into the pastry case and smooth the top. Bake for 25 mins until the pastry is golden and the coconut pale golden. Serve with cream or real vanilla ice cream and some Cape gooseberries, then follow with cups of black Rooibos tea.

  I wondered exatly the same thing about the butter, I greased the flan tin with it but think it should have gone in the mixture. Tart is yummy, it is nearly finished and I only baked it this morning and there is only 2 of us in the house.

  It says in the ingredients 25g butter but does not say where to add it. Also how much cinnamon? No measurement? Made it anyway and added the butter to the coconut mixture. Was very rich but yummy cake. I also have to reduce the cooking temperature for the pastry and it browned very quickly

  Great recipe and quite delicious but where do you add the melted butter? There is no mention in the method. Is it to grease the tin or to add to the mixture?

  This is a lovely recipe. I used a ready made pastry case which made it so quick and easy. I'll definitely make it again.

  this recipe was so easy, great just as it is but also very good slightly different. As i have a very hungry family i am always looking for ways to make dishes go further, i removed the spices, added 50g of breadcrumbs and an extra egg to the coconut mix. Made the tart in a dish one size up and added rasberry jam to the base. The kids love it straight from the fridge if it lasts that long !!
