I’ve never met a Lamington I didn’t love!
Lamingtons come in all sorts of different flavours and shapes. I experimented with rolling them here.
Â
Rolled Lamingtons
SpongeÂ
3 eggs
1 cup castor sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
140ml milk
95g butter
Heat together milk and butter set aside.
Cream eggs, sugar and vanilla for 7 min until triple in volume. Sift together flour and baking powder.
Add the dry ingredients and milk mixture alternately to the whipped eggs.Â
Pour the batter into a lined baking tray 31cm x 46cm. Bake at 180C for 12 min.
Once baked, remove from the oven dust with icing sugar turn out on to a kitchen towel. Peel the baking paper away, dust with icing sugar and roll up to form a Swiss roll. Set aside to cool.
Â
Vanilla cream
3/4 cup whipping creamÂ
2 Tblsp castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla essenceÂ
Beat together till peaks and spread over the cooled sponge. Roll up tightly and slice to 5 cm.
Then freeze for 30 min.
Â
Lamington glazeÂ
35g or 4 1/2 Tblsp cocoa powder
30g butter
100ml milk
330g icing sugar (sifted)
Dessicated Coconut
 In a saucepan on medium heat, combine cocoa, butter and milk. Whisk in the icing sugar.
Remove the cakes from the freezer, dip in the glaze then coat in coconut.
