Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose white wheat flour, baking powder, and a dash of salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs using an electric mixer on high speed until they become light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this will deflate the eggs.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the water and dry cocoa powder, stirring until smooth and free of lumps. Allow this mixture to cool slightly.
Gradually fold the cocoa mixture into the batter, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should spring back when lightly touched.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares. Traditionally, Lamingtons are then dipped in a chocolate coating and rolled in desiccated coconut, but you can enjoy the Glam Lamington just as it is or with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
- Ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This helps in achieving a fluffier sponge cake.
- When mixing the batter, fold gently to retain as much air as possible, ensuring your cake is light and airy.
- Cool the cake completely before cutting into squares to avoid crumbling.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can add a bit more cocoa powder to the coating mixture.
- Instead of water, you can use milk in the batter for a richer taste.
With its unique combination of textures and flavors, the Glam lamington is sure to become a favorite in your home. The delicate sponge cake encased in a luscious cocoa coating and sprinkled with desiccated coconut is not only delectable but also visually appealing. Enjoy your baking, and savor every bite of this delightful treat!
