Might be similar to Belgian biscuits brown biscuit with pink iscing. I think you can find the recipe in Edmonds.

ctmh, I suggest that the slice could be made "quite dark in colour" by using dark cane sugar and/or by adding cocoa.

Hope that helps. :-))

Mum always added a little cocoa for that reason and the taste of cocoa could not be detected in the slice.
