Jelly Lamingtons
Report
A pretty twist on the Aussie classic. Sponge cake squares dipped in raspberry jelly and rolled in coconut.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarb soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups caster sugar
- 230 grams butter
- 6 eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut
- 85 grams jelly crystals (one packet of raspberry Aeroplane jelly or your favourite flavour)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 170 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
- Grease two small square cake tins (20cm x 20cm approx) and line with baking paper.
- Cream butter and sugar on med-high in a stand mixer.
- Reduce mixer speed to slow and add eggs one at a time.
- Add vanilla essence and beat on medium-high speed again for a minute or two.
- Reduce mixer speed to slow and add a little of the sifted dry ingredients. Add a little of the milk and then keep adding dry ingredients and milk alternately until all the ingredients are combined.
- Pour equal parts of the mixture into the two prepared cake tins.
- Place in oven and cook for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing cakes from tins.
- Once completely cool, trim the sides, top and bottom of the cakes and then cut each square into 9 smaller squares.
Jelly
- Pour jelly crystals into a bowl and add one cup of boiling water. Stir to dissolve. Add another cold cup of water and continue stirring until all the crystals are dissolved.
- Place jelly into fridge to part set. This should take about 1 ½ to 2 hours and the jelly should be an egg white like consistency.
- Once jelly mixture has reached the right consistency dip each cake square in the jelly mixture, coating the entire surface.
- Dip into a bowl containing the coconut, again coating the entire surface.
- Place onto a lined tray. Once all squares are done, place into the fridge to set.
- Store in the fridge and serve cold or at room temperature.
Cream filling
- Use Nan Mac's mock cream recipe (link above).
