This is a very simple slice to make. It's a great everyday recipe and a slice with a cuppa is divine. It's Gluten Free but can be made also using regular wheat flour (all-purpose flour ) with success too. If you use GF flour, nobody would guess that this slice is gluten free

I wish I had doubled this recipe - it was like a gingery brownie. The lot has vanished so fast. My icing was merely a drizzle as I ran out of icing sugar. Great slice, just great !!
