Lamingtons are one of Australias iconic afternoon tea treats, and the delicious cakes are easy to make and able to be whipped up in minutes.
When you have last minute guests arriving, you may be able to rustle up enough ingredients to make some lamingtons on the spot. Essentially, you will need sponge cake, icing, and shredded coconut.
Cut a sponge cake into bar shapes and coat with chocolate icing. Icing can be made with icing sugar, cocoa and a little hot water. Roll the lamingtons in shredded coconut to finish the look and taste.
To dress up lamingtons, cut in half and add some jam or cream. Lamingtons can also inspire lamington cupcakes, birthday cakes, and biscuits. For a sweet touch, use red jelly crystals instead of cocoa powder for the icing to transform lamingtons into pink treats. Cut cake into heart shapes to serve a cute pink lamington.
