Did you love or hate lamingtons as an Aussie kid? I use to lick off all the chocolate and eat the sponge but leave the jam behind! Just was not a fan of jam at all as a child. Now I loooove jam and therefor I’ll eat the whole lamington with no qualms.   Save this easy recipe and send it to someone who loves lamingtons

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160C fan forced and line a lamington tray (about 34x25cm) with baking paper

Step 2

Add eggs to a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric mixer on high for 90 seconds

Step 3

Slowly add the sugar about 1 tbsp at a time until the mixture is light in colour, and forms ribbons as seen in the video. This may take about 10 - 15 minutes

Step 4

Combine the butter, vanilla and hot water and set aside

Step 5

In another bowl mix together the flour and baking powder then sift into the egg/sugar mixture and fold until just combined. Then fold in the butter/vanilla liquid and fold again until just combined. Do not over mix!

Step 6

Pour into the baking tray, bang a couple of times to get air bubbles out then bake for 20 - 25 minutes.

Step 7

Once the sponge has cooled, carefully slice away any unevenness then slice the sponge in half so you have two large flat sponges (aka not what I did in the video haha.)  Spread the jam all over one of the pieces then sit the other on top. Then cut into 12 even squares.

Step 8

Mix together all of the icing ingredients except for the coconut. Start off with a small amount of water and add more to create thick but slightly runny icing. Almost like the texture of maple syrup.

Step 9

In another bowl add the coconut

Step 10

Dip the cake into the chocolate icing then into the coconut then onto a drying rack. They are ready to eat instantly. Enjoy!
