Today I will show you a delicious easy lamingtons recipe and a bit of its history.
There is an Australian dessert that is almost as iconic as Vegemite, meat pie or even kangaroos(there’s kangaroo pie too :-)).
What is a Lamington?
Lamington is a traditional Australian cake dessert consisting of a small square shaped sponge cakes, which are covered with a layer of chocolate(sometimes raspberry) icing or glaze and rolled into grated coconut shavings. The preparation applied in a thin layer is absorbed from the outside of the cake after a rest time, which gives it a special texture. This cake very often has a square or rectangular shape, but rarely exceeds more than 5 cm in height. It is usually served at the end of the meal, for dessert.
