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
Icing
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 30 grams butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 egg white, whisked a little
- 4 tablespoons boiling water (or 3 tablespoons of boiling water and 1 tablespoon of port or sherry for Nana Ling's boozy Lamingtons)
- 11/2 cups desiccated coconut
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.
Icing
- Combine all ingredients except the coconut in a saucepan. Heat very gently until the butter has melted.
- Dip each cake square in the 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).
