This Baileys and coffee flavoured sweet treat is a cross between a slice and a cake. It will keep for a couple of days in an airtight container. Enjoy with a cappuccino! - Greer Worsley

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
200g butter, melted
1 tbsp coffee and chicory essence
1/3 cup Baileys Irish cream
2 cups plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 cup dates, chopped

For icing

1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted
1 tbsp Baileys Irish Liqueur
1 tsp coffee and chicory essence
1 tbsp butter, melted
1-2 tbsp boiling water

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 170C. Line an 18cm by 25cm slice tin with baking paper.
Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, coffee essence and Baileys. Fold through sifted flour and baking powder, then fold through dates. Pour into prepared tin, smooth the top and bake for 25-30 minutes until just cooked. Allow to cool in the tin.
Step 3

To make icing, combine icing sugar with Baileys, coffee essence and melted butter. Add just enough boiling water to create a smooth, spreadable consistency. Spread over cooled cake and leave to set, then slice into squares to serve.
