Lamingtons
Australia may not be the country than comes to mind when you're thinking about culinary creativity but these Lamingtons, which are a classic Australian dessert, should be every cook's repertoire. So simple. Yet so good. A moist yellow cake dipped in chocolate and dusted with coconut. Yummm!
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 egg
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
Icing
- 3 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 cup water boiled
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Grease a 3cm-deep, 20cm x 30cm (base) lamington pan. Line with baking paper, leaving a 2cm overhang on all sides. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture may curdle).
- Sift half the flour over butter mixture. Stir to combine. Add half the milk. Stir to combine. Repeat with remaining flour and milk. Spoon into prepared pan. Smooth top. Bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack. Cover with a clean tea towel. Set aside overnight.
- Make icing: Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Add butter and boiling water. Stir until smooth.
- Cut cake into 15 pieces. Place coconut in a dish. Using a fork, dip 1 piece of cake in icing. Shake off excess. Toss in coconut. Place on a wire rack over a baking tray. Repeat with remaining cake, icing and coconut. Stand for 2 hours or until set. Serve.
