Lamingtons is very popular in Australia, it’s sponge cake dipped in a chocolate sauce and rolled in coconut. I love anything with coconut so this is just up my alley. Who can resist a soft sponge cake with chocolate and coconut. I tried to keep this recipe simple so I used my basic sponge cake recipe that I use all the time. It works beautifully without too much effort.
Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats mentioned in her recipe that she freezes her cake before dipping them in the sauce. I’m so glad she shared this little trick because it works like a charm. Freezing the cake makes it so easy, without getting crumbs all over the sauce.
Although I have used cocoa in the sauce, you can also add chocolate if you prefer. For my family this was perfect as I didn’t want a super rich cake. I also added a dollop of cream on top of each little lamington to balance the sweetness. You don’t have to add the cream. Some recipes also suggest filling the lamingtons with jam and cream and sandwiching them together. There are recipes that also dip the cake in raspberry jelly, I have tried that and it didn’t work. So clearly I have to work on my recipe. More Sweet Treats Super Moist Chocolate Sheet Cake Chocolate Coconut Biscuits If you loved this, please share!
