Whoa be it for me to upgrade an Aust. Women's Weekly recipe because they have been a standby for me and many others (including my mum) for many years. Why? Because they work, EVERY TIME. But....
Hmm, (embarrassing pause) however I recently misread this recipe and used baking powder instead of bi carb and used coconut sugar instead of castor sugar because I had none. - The result was better than the original, so if you want to substitute castor instead of coconut, and bi carb instead of baking powder go ahead!
You can also substitute any nut or fruit combination you enjoy, and instead of vanilla use any delicious essence (e.g. almond) you like.
One tip - chilling is a MUST. You could even chill overnight if that suits you better.
