Tips:
- Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature before starting. This helps them to whip up with better volume, resulting in a lighter cake.
- When mixing the batter, be gentle to maintain the airiness of the whipped eggs. Fold the flour and other ingredients carefully to avoid deflating the mixture.
- Let the sponge cake cool completely before cutting it into squares to prevent it from crumbling.
- To keep the chocolate coating smooth and manageable, prepare an assembly line with the cake squares, chocolate mixture, and coconut for easy dipping and coating.
- If the chocolate mixture begins to thicken too much during the dipping process, you can reheat it gently to restore its consistency.
Classic lamingtons are a wonderful treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year. With their delicious blend of sponge cake, chocolate, and coconut, they are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy these classic lamingtons as a delightful dessert or a sweet snack!
