Classic lamingtons are an iconic Australian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. These delicious sponge cake squares are coated in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut, creating a delightful combination of textures and flavors. In this recipe, we’ll guide you through the steps to make these scrumptious treats at home, ensuring they turn out perfectly every time.
- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before you begin. This will help them whip up to a greater volume, resulting in a lighter sponge.
- Sift the flours together to ensure a light, airy texture in your sponge cake.
- Cool the sponge cake completely before cutting and coating to prevent crumbs from mixing into the chocolate icing.
- Use a fork or skewer to dip the sponge squares into the chocolate icing; this will help excess icing to drain off and make coating easier.
- If the chocolate icing starts to thicken as you work, place it over a bowl of warm water to keep it smooth and manageable.
- To evenly coat the lamingtons in coconut, place them in a shallow dish and gently roll them around.
And there you have it—classic lamingtons made right in your own kitchen! These delightful squares are sure to impress your friends and family with their perfect blend of soft sponge, rich chocolate icing, and crunchy coconut coating. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or coffee for a truly Australian experience. Happy baking!
