I’ve gone a bits nut products on the cooking for Memorial Day weekend. Today I made Mini Lamingtons, and also a Sour Cream Chocolate Cake I simply love lamingtons, they’re a flavor of home for me. A very traditional Australian spongy cake, dipped in delicious chocolate and coconut. Messy to create, but worthwhile.
I came across this formula for the Mini Lamingtons within the cuisine section of the Sydney Morning Herald and I just converted it to imperial measurements and it worked really well.
1 stay soft butter, chopped
3/4 cup super fine sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 tablespoons Dutch cocoa
5 ounces boiling water
Preheat oven to 350F.
Using a power mixer, defeat butter, sugars and vanilla until light and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after every. Stir in combined sifted flour and baking powder alternating with milk and stir until smooth. Spoon mixture into a greased and lined square tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked when tested having a skewer. Stand in tin for ten minutes before turning from a wire rack to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and keto strawberry shortcake cheesecake store for 1 day.
Combine all substances with 5 oz . boiling drinking water and blend until simple. This mix will be extremely runny.
Trim cake into approximately 1″ squares and dip each one into icing, after that into coconut.
Place lamingtons on the wire rack for 1-2 hours or until dry out.
Makes about 45.
I utilized dessicated coconut for this recipe, only because my mother had simply brought me some over from Australia, but shredded will work just as well.
Tip: I take advantage of two forks to handle the cake squares and dip them within the chocolate and the coconut. Let the delicious chocolate drip off a little before you put it within the coconut.

I reside in Canada and also have never heard about Lamingtons. They sure look good and sound good. Would love to give them a go.

I’ve stuffed myself with Lamintongs in HongKong and Tokyo- They’re among the best cakes ever!
The lemon ones are actually good aswell, but chocolate always wins =)
I have to make these!!!!!
I didn’t know that recipe came from Australia! We’ve been baking them for Christmas since forever, and I thought the recipe came from Austria/European countries, where I’m from. We place a little Rum flavour within the chocolate icing, which kicks it up a notch. Your picture makes my mouth area water. I really like them! 🙂
I love lamingtons when i tasted it in Sydney. It was gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the formula. The mini lamingtons appeared awesome!
I tasted an early on “sample” of the while they were on the cooling rack – Wow! Extremely chocolately and the coconut is certainly more subtle than you may think. They are the best dessert when we happen to be Sydney!
I always have to think of Australian Soaps once i hear Lamingtons mentioned anywhere. I’ve constantly wished to try them rather than have got yet!
Thank you for getting a flavor of right here to Canada. I’ve under no circumstances seen Lamingtons before and I think it ought to be the national dessert because of this year.
