This is a quick easy recipe with no jam, and tastes vg.You could of course try placing half mixture in tin, spread with jam, then rest of mixture if you want to.

From what I can see by doing a Google search the slice is known as both/either Belgium and/or Belgian Slice and certainly the recipe I found on the link as posted at #2 is called Belgium Slice.:-))

Belgium is the country and Belgian is originating from the country.Having lived in Belgium I never saw the slice for sale.

My recipe http://brama-sole.co.nz/recipes/belgium-slice/ is referred to as Belgium slice (Belgian), the same recipe makes the biscuits. The link to them is in the recipe post. This is an old recipe spaning a few generations back in my family.
