Lamington

A Lamington is an Australian treat consisting of sponge cake coated in a layer of chocolate icing, then rolled in desiccated coconut. The cake is typically soft and airy, providing a tender texture. The combination of rich chocolate and coconut offers a delightful flavor contrast. Traditionally, Lamingtons are cut into squares or rectangles, making them easy to serve and enjoy with tea or coffee. They are a popular, iconic dessert in Australia, often made at home or bought from bakeries, and sometimes filled with jam or cream for added taste.
