Lamingtons | Lamington Recipe | Lamington Cake Recipe
Lamingtons is an Australian cake made with small square of white cake, dipped in a sweet chocolate glaze and rolled in desiccated coconut. The cake is made with basic ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, egg and milk and it taste so delicious. My love for lamingtons made me create this eggless lamingtons, no bake lamingtons and this jelly lamingtons. In this blog post, I am going to share how to make perfect laminations with step by step pictures and video.

Notes
- Don't over bake the cake, else it will turn hard.
- For healthy alternatives, you can use wheat flour instead of plain flour.

- You can bake the cake in advance. Store in fridge tightly wrapped with plastic wrap and assemble it just before serving.
