Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
2/3 cup sugar
130g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
1 cup buttermilk
230g
2 cups dried coconut meat
300g
2 cups powdered sugar
320g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square baking pan (8x8 inches) with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter (54g) and sugar (130g) until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Vanilla and Eggs:
Add the vanilla extract (4g) to the butter-sugar mixture and blend well. Then, beat in the eggs (100g), one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour (150g) and all-purpose white wheat flour (40g).
5. Mix Dry Ingredients and Buttermilk:
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk (230g). Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
6. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
7. Prepare the Chocolate Icing:
While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate icing. In a medium bowl, sift together the powdered sugar (320g) and dry cocoa powder (50g). Gradually add the boiling water (120ml), stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and has a pourable consistency.
8. Cut the Cake:
Once the cake has completely cooled, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Cut the cake into small bite-sized squares, about 1 inch each.
9. Dip Cake Bites in Chocolate Icing:
Using a fork or a skewer, dip each cake square into the chocolate icing, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess icing to drip back into the bowl.
10. Coat with Coconut:
Roll the chocolate-coated cake bites in the finely shredded dried coconut meat (300g) until they are evenly covered.
11. Let Set:
Place the coated lamington bites on a wire rack to set. You may want to place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper underneath the rack to catch any drips.
12. Serve:
Once the icing has set, your Mini Lamington Bites are ready to serve. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar.

- When adding the dry ingredients, sift them to remove any lumps and achieve a lighter texture.

- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting into bite-sized squares to avoid crumbling.

- Use a wire cooling rack to coat the cake pieces evenly with chocolate and coconut. This will also help catch any excess coatings.

- If you prefer a different flavor, you can experiment by adding a few drops of your favorite flavored extract to the batter or the coating.
