Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Mix all sponge ingredients until pale and fluffy.
Bake in an 8” square tin at 150°C (conventional heat) for 45 minutes or until it bounces back in the center.
Once completely cool, trim off the sides and cut the sponge into 9 squares.
Warm all syrup ingredients in a pan on very low heat until combined. Food coloring is optional.
Allow the syrup to cool completely.
Quickly dip each sponge piece into the syrup, coating it all over.
Roll each coated sponge piece in desiccated coconut and set aside.
Ensure the sponge is completely cool before cutting and dipping to avoid crumbling.
Use a fork or skewer to dip the sponge pieces into the syrup for easier handling.
If you prefer a more vibrant look, add a drop of food coloring to the syrup.
Store the lamingtons in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Can I use a different type of flour?
Self-raising flour is recommended for this recipe as it helps the sponge rise properly. Substituting with plain flour may require additional leavening agents.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
You can try substituting condensed milk, butter, and milk with dairy-free alternatives, but the texture and flavor may vary.
How long can I store the lamingtons?
Lamingtons can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze the lamingtons?
Yes, you can freeze lamingtons for up to 2 months. Ensure they are stored in a freezer-safe container and thaw before serving.
What can I use instead of desiccated coconut?
If you don't have desiccated coconut, you can use shredded coconut or finely grated fresh coconut as a substitute.
