Want to try the popular cake in Australia?? try Lamington cake! It consists of a small cube of white cake (sponge, butter or pound) that is dipped in a sweet chocolate icing (frosting) and then rolled in dessicated coconut.
The 'Lamington' name is suspected to come from Lord Lamington (Governor of Queensland from 1896-1901). This Australian cakes are sold in most Australian bakeries and sold very fast too.
Ingredients:
Lamington
2 cups (260 g) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated white sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
Chocolate Frosting
4 cups (454 g) confectioners' (powdered or icing) sugar, sifted
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and place oven rack to middle position. Butter or spray with a nonstick cooking spray, the bottom and sides of an 8 inch (20 cm) square cake pan.
In a large bowl sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In bowl of electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the butter until soft. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture and milk, in three additions, beginning and ending with flour.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake in preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Cool the cake in its pan on a wire rack for 10 mins. Then place a wire rack on top of the cake pan and invert, lifting off the pan. Re-invert. Once the cake has completely cooled cut into 5 cm squares.
Chocolate frosting
Place the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, butter and milk in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
Stir the mixture until it becomes smooth and has pouring consistency.
Finishing
Put the 5 cm of cakes on a wire rack that is placed over a baking sheet (to catch the drips).
Have ready the coconut on a large plate and the chocolate frosting. Spoon or ladle the chocolate frosting over each square of cake (all sides are covered, it is best to do a few squares at a time). With a small offset spatula or knife transfer the chocolate covered cake to the plate of coconut and roll the cake in the coconut, covering all sides. Gently transfer the lamington to a clean wire rack to set. Repeat with the rest of the cake squares. Once the Lamingtons have set, store in an airtight container for several days.
