Beverages : Lamingtons - Steps to prepare this Australian cake item



 Lamingtons are Australian sponge cake squares coated in chocolate icing and desiccated coconut. To prepare them, bake a sponge cake, cut it into squares, dip each square in chocolate icing, and then roll them in coconut. Allow them to set before serving.


Here's a basic step-by-step guide for making Lamingtons:


1. **Ingredients:**

   - Sponge Cake (either store-bought or homemade)

   - Chocolate Icing (made with icing sugar, cocoa powder, butter, and milk)

   - Desiccated Coconut


2. **Prepare the Sponge Cake:**

   - You can either buy a sponge cake or bake one at home. Let it cool completely before cutting.


3. **Cutting the Cake:**

   - Cut the sponge cake into even-sized squares, usually around 2 inches.


4. **Chocolate Icing:**

   - In a bowl, mix icing sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, and enough milk to form a smooth, thick icing.


5. **Dipping the Cake:**

   - Take each cake square and dip it into the chocolate icing, ensuring it's fully coated.


6. **Coating with Coconut:**

   - Immediately roll the chocolate-coated cake square in desiccated coconut, covering all sides.


7. **Setting:**

   - Place the coated Lamingtons on a wire rack to set. The chocolate icing and coconut will harden as they cool.


8. **Serve:**

   - Once set, your Lamingtons are ready to be served. Enjoy!


Remember, you can customize the recipe by adding a layer of jam or cream between the cake squares before coating with chocolate and coconut.
