Easy Lamington Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into square or rectangular pieces (about 16 squares).
2. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze:

In a medium saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, butter, and vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the butter is melted and the glaze is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. Coat the Lamingtons:

Place the shredded coconut in a shallow dish.
Working one piece at a time, dip each cake square into the chocolate glaze, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the glazed cake in the shredded coconut until completely covered.
Place the coated lamingtons on a wire rack to set. Repeat for all the pieces.
4. Serve and Enjoy:

Once the glaze has set, your Lamingtons are ready to enjoy! Serve them as a delicious treat for afternoon tea, a dessert for parties, or simply as a sweet snack.
