Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (355°F). Line base and two sides of a 20cm x 30cm slice tin with a strip of baking paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together Weet-Bix, flour, coconut, cranberries, pistachios, and salt.
- Melt margarine in a small saucepan or heat-proof bowl. Add sugar and orange juice, and whisk to combine. Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until no streaks of flour remain.
- Transfer mixture to prepared tin, and smooth surface.
- Bake 18 - 22 minutes until puffed in the centre and golden on the edges. Cool in tin 20 mins, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- To make icing, combine cream cheese and margarine in a small bowl. Stir vigorously with a spoon until very smooth. Add icing sugar and spices and stir again. If desired, add milk 1 tsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Spread icing over cooled slice. Sprinkle with extra cranberry slivers and pistachios to decorate, if desired. Cut into 20 pieces to serve
Tips
- Store extra slice in a sealed container in the fridge.
