Ingredients

1 pre-made sponge cake cut into squares
3 cups icing sugar
¾ cup cocoa powder
⅓ cup boiling water
⅓ cup melted butter
500g bag of desiccated coconut

Obviously, you can make your own sponge cake – but using this shortcut makes it a lot faster!

  1. Prepare 2 plates of desiccated coconut for coating the lamingtons. One for coating with coconut and one to put your finished lamingtons on to – this will make sure the bottoms don’t stick to anything as the coating sets.

  2. Whisk together the icing sugar, cocoa, boiling water, and melted butter.

  3. Using a fork, dip each cube into the chocolate sauce and then roll in the coconut on the first place to coat. Place onto the second plate of coconut to set.

Once set – enjoy!

​​​​​​If you fancy something other than chocolate, you can also make them with a raspberry coating.


Raspberry lamingtons

  1. Prepare a packet of raspberry jelly following the instructions on the packet. Allow the jelly to start setting in the fridge or freezer until it becomes the consistency of egg-whites.

  2. Dip the cubes of sponge into the jelly before rolling them in the coconut.

You can also c​ut both lamington variations in half and fill with whipped cream for an extra special treat. Double yum!
