Lamingtons Recipe

How to Cook Lamingtons

Lamingtons:
(picture represents typical Lamingtons, not necessarily results from the following recipe)

• Butter (½ cup)
• Castor sugar (¾ cup)
• Milk (½ cup)
• Self-raising flour (2 cups)
• Eggs (2)
• Vanilla Extract

1. Mix the castor sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. During the mixing process add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
   
   
2. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat them in.
   
   
3. Add the flour and milk, folding them into the mixture.
   
   
4. Pour the mixture in a greased baking tray, taking care to spread it evenly.
   
   
5. Place the baking tray into a preheated oven, 375°F (190°C; Gas Mark 5), for about 30 to 40 minutes. Be careful not to burn the cake, but when it is ready you should be able to poke a fork into the cake and remove it without any mixture sticking to the fork.
   
   
6. Allow the cake to cool, and then store it in the fridge until the following day.

• Sponge cake (make sure it is cool, by storing in fridge for at least an hour before using)
• Icing sugar (4 cups)
• Cocoa powder (½ cup)
• Milk (½ cup)
• Dessicated coconut (3 cups)
• Butter
• Optional: Strawberry jam or whipping cream

1. Cut the sponge cake into cubes.
   
   
2. Spread the dessicated coconut into a shallow bowl or plate.
   
   
3. Mix the icing sugar and cocoa powder in another bowl.
   
   
4. Warm the milk and butter together in a saucepan, until the butter is completely melted, and then add this to the sugar and cocoa mixture, mix until a a consistent (and not too runny) texture is achieved.
   
   
5. Take a cube of sponge with a fork, dip it into the chocolate icing, and allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Next, roll the cube in the dessicated coconut, and finally place it on a wire cooling rack. Repeat this process until all your cubes are done.
   
   
6. Allow the cubes to dry, and then place them in an airtight container. They will be ready to eat by the following day (or try to wait at least a few hours if you can't resist that long!).
   
   
7. If you wish you can cut the cubes into halves, and add a layer of strawberry jam or whipped cream between the layers, before eating.
