LAMINGTONS Ingredients: 4 eggs 1&1/2 cups of sugar 1 cup oil 1 tablespoon vanilla essence 2&1/2 cups of self raising flour 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1/2 tsp of salt . 2 cups dessicated coconut (for the coating) Coating: 1&1/2 cups icing sugar 1/2 a cup cocoa powder (good quality) 3 tbsp butter 1 cup hot milk 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence Method: Preheat the oven to 180°C Whisk the sugar and eggs in a mixer until light and fluffy about 3 minutes. Add the oil and vanilla essence and mix again. Add the flour a to the mixture alternatively with the milk. Pour the mixture into a rectangular or square greased baking tin for 30-35 minutes at 180° Allow to cool and then cut off any crusts. Now, cut the sponge into small squares, about 4cm x 4cm (the traditional size for a lamington). Make the icing/coating by warming the milk and butter in a saucepan on medium heat , take off stove and add icing sugar , vanilla essence and cocoa powder and stir well , roll each square in the chocolate coating until all sides are covered. Be generous here and coat the sponges well! Now roll each lamington in coconut. We take it a step further and decorate with piping vanilla cream and placing some caramel on top . Delicious !!!
