Source WIKI: A lamington is a dessert of Australian origin. It consists of squares of sponge cake coated first in a layer of traditionallychocolate sauce, then in desiccated coconut. Lamingtons are sometimes served as two halves with a layer of cream orstrawberry jam between, and are commonly found in South African and Australasian outlets such as cafes, lunch bars, bakeries, home industries and supermarkets. A raspberry variety is also common in New Zealand, while a lemon variety has been encountered in Australia.
This is one cake which was always in my mind for quite a long time..But i totally forget about it as days pass by. But yesterday my dear friend sujitha posted this on her blog, which reminded me instantly. I had all the ingredients on hand and immediately gave it a shot. I modified the recipe to my taste and to my surprise it was like DELICIOUS..Loved it to the core. I took couple of pieces for me and hubby and packed the whole thing for my sister, because she has been asking me to bake something for her college mates. I am sure they will love it too.
