“Lamingtons: A sweet symphony of sponge, chocolate, and coconut.”

Ingredients

For the Sponge Cake
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut, for rolling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a baking tray with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in vanilla extract.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Spread the batter evenly over the prepared tray to about 1 cm thickness.

  3. Bake the Sponge: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Cut into Bites: Once cooled, cut the sponge cake into small squares or rectangles.

  5. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a bowl, mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, and milk until smooth. If needed, adjust consistency with more milk for a thinner coating or more powdered sugar for a thicker coating.

  6. Coat and Roll Bites: Dip each sponge piece into the chocolate mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Then roll in desiccated coconut to coat evenly. Place on a tray lined with parchment paper.

  7. Set and Serve: Allow the lamington bites to set at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting. Enjoy your Lamington Bliss Bites!
