When it comes to sweet treats, just about everyone likes a slice recipe. Somewhere between a cake and a tart, slices can be made entirely of one mixture or have a base that’s covered with a topping and/or a filling. Here, we have rounded up our most popular slice recipes to cover just about any craving or occasion.
For the chocolate lovers, there’s chocolate oat slice, caramel slice and even a no-bake chocolate slice. If you enjoy citrus, we have a plethora of orange slices and lemon slices. Plus, other fruity options like slice recipes with blueberry and raspberry. There are cheesecake slices, oat slices, a classic Anzac slice, and even muesli slices that work as breakfasts on-the-go!
For vintage slice favourites, try our ginger coconut slice, or strawberry jelly slice.
Test Kitchen tips for slice recipes
The Australian Women’s Weekly Test Kitchen has made its fair share of slice recipes over the decades. So here are our top tips to keep in mind:
- If your slices aren’t baking as quickly as you want, consider using an aluminium tray. Pans made from tin and stainless steel don’t conduct heat as easily.
- Preheating the oven is important for baked slices as most require less than 30 minutes of baking. So, preheat for around 10 minutes before placing the slice in the oven.
- Make sure slices are cool or at room temperature before adding any icing, which could be absorbed if the slice is hot.
- If a slice recipe recommends a particular size of tray, aim to get as close to that as possible. Otherwise, you could end up with a slice that bubbles over (in a smaller tray) or one that’s very thin (in a bigger tray).
