There is no cake more Australian than Lamingtons!
Youll get coconut everywhere making them and eating them.
But thats all part of the Aussie experience.

Its how we do it Down Under!
Lamingtons an Australian classic!
A soft buttery sponge cake coated all over with chocolate icing and coconut.
Even if youve never heard of these before, you just know its going to be good.
We Aussies know great tucker and this is as Aussie as it gets!!
The first few times I made them involved screeches of frustration and serious foot stomping.
Thecake crumbles into the icing, making it thicker and impossible to work with.
And once the crumbling begins, imagine the mess when you take a stab at roll it in coconut.
This works pretty well but the cake is a bit drier than ideal.
The 21st century solution:
FREEZE THE CAKE.
This will change your Lamington Life forever.
The big debate:Do Lamingtons have jam and cream?
Classic Lamingtons made the traditional old-school way donothave jam or cream sandwiched in the middle.
My view Lamingtons should stand as a great cake without any filling.
Jam and cream is optional it should make itover the top good!
If youre a Lamington fan, I think youll approve of this recipe!
The butter cake is moist, tender and buttery.
