About Lamington Recipe
If you are hearing about this for the first time. . 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.
A lamington is a traditional Australian cake made of squares of butter cake or sponge cake coated in chocolate sauce and rolled in desiccated coconut. The thin mixture is absorbed into the outside of the sponge cake and allowed to set, imparting a distinct texture to the cake.
Lamingtons are still a popular treat in Australia and New Zealand, and the 21st of July is National Lamington Day in Australia. Lamingtons are frequently sold at lamington drives, which are fundraisers for schools or charitable organisations. Some Australians abbreviate the name Lammo or Lammos.
Ingredients for Eggless Lamington Recipe
Milk Powder
Powdered milk has the same nutritional value as fresh milk and is less perishable. It can be added to recipes to boost protein and nutritional value. Whole milk powder may contain oxidised cholesterol, which can damage blood vessels and contribute to heart disease.
Icing sugar
It dissolves quickly, making it ideal for use in icings, butter creams, and frostings, as well as some candies and for dusting baked cakes and cookies.
Cocoa Powder
Cocoa powder is primarily used as a flavouring agent in baked goods such as cookies, ice cream, dairy drinks, and cakes. Aside from flavouring, it is also used in the production of coatings for confectioners or frozen desserts. Cocoa powder is also used in the beverage industry, for example, to make chocolate milk.
