Top tip! If you wanna make these extra special, half the batch and put it in two separate trays, then you put jam (usually raspberry jam but you can use strawberry or another kind of berry jam), between the two halves before covering them in icing and coconut. This is how my family does it (yes I am Aussie) and I think it just adds that extra something :)

I saw these made when I was little and for years I have struggled finding the recipe. When I did find it, I have started making them every Christmas. The only difference is I coat them in crushed walnuts and I add either rhum or orange liqueur in the chocolate icing. Great minicakes indeed

Here's a written step-by-step version. Chocolate Lamingtons (makes around 12) Vanilla Sponge Cake Ingredients: 200g caster sugar 200g flour 4 eggs 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp vanilla essence 100g butter, melted Chocolate Icing 50g butter, melted 290g icing sugar 160ml milk Pinch of salt (optional) 45g cocoa powder 250g desiccated coconut Method: Preheat the oven to 170ºC. Lightly grease a 20cm square cake tin and line the base and two sides with baking paper, or lightly grease and dust with flour. In a large bowl, add the caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla essence. Using an electric beater, beat until the batter is light and fluffy. Sieve in half the flour and carefully fold using a wooden spoon. Once the flour is combined, sieve in the baking powder and remaining flour, folding again until fully incorporated. Add the melted butter into the sponge mixture and fold until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Once the vanilla sponge cake has baked, remove from the oven and leave it to cool down overnight or place the sponge in the fridge for around three hours. Trim the edges off the sponge to ensure the sides are flat and square, then cut into twelve even squares. For the icing, in a medium bowl, pour butter and milk inside and whisk until combined. Next, sieve in the cocoa powder and whisk once more. Next, sift in the icing sugar and salt (optional) until the icing is thick and chocolatey, ensuring no dry ingredients remain on the sides of the bowl. Shake the desiccated coconut into a medium bowl, and transfer some of it into a smaller bowl so the whole mixture doesn’t become a chocolate mess Prepare a large drying rack with a paper towel or sheet of baking paper underneath as you will be placing the lamingtons on top once they are coated in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut. Drop the vanilla sponge squares into the chocolate icing one at a time and, using two forks, move the sponge around until coated in icing. Allow some of the icing to drip off placing it in the coconut. Using your hands or a spoon, flick coconut onto the sides before using your hands or a spoon to roll the rest of the lamington in the desiccated coconut. Once covered, place on the drying rack while you make the remaining lamingtons. Leave in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes before eating (or don't, if you're like me :D).

One thing I learned from him is that the Jam used in Jam donuts is a combination Raspberry - Plum and Apple " RASPLUMANDAPPLE " I have been baking - cooking for decades --- I find it relaxing and satisfying Many years ago a woman sent me a message advising me that her mother died. I replied LOL Another message arrived - reading: What's so funny about my mother dying ? I replied : Nothing : In my language LOL means Lots of Love BTW: I have been to restaurants where they have huge plates and only a little bit of food and charge a fortune.

These look awesome! We have these in New Zealand as well. You will always find them in every bakery. They are always in chocolate or raspberry

By the way, we usually cut them in half and fill them with cream and a dollop of jam
