Lamingtons. 21st July - National Lamington Day in Australia

 

Shared by Remedios Gómez:

I had an Australian flatmate around 15 years ago who taught me how to bake Lamingtons, one of the most typical dessert in Australia. They are such an iconic sweet that they even have their own official day (21st July - National Lamington Day in Australia).

It is traditionally made from a vanilla sponge cake, coated in a chocolate sauce and then rolled in grated coconut.

This is the recipe, for you to try (easy peacy!!) and then I post a video for you to follow the different steps visually:

For the cake

• 150g flour
• 50g corn flour
• 150g sugar

• 
  
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 eggs

For the chocolate icing

• 200g icing sugar
• 200g dark chocolate
• 15g butter
• 300g (12 oz) grated coconut
