Ingredients
0.5 slab Vanilla cake -(see our Sand Cake recipe)
2 cups Icing Sugar-sifted
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
2 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp boiling Water
2 cups Desiccated coconut
Directions
- Make a double batch of the Sand Cake recipe in a rectangular tin (or purchase a pre-made slab from your local supermarket).
- When the Sand Cake comes out of the oven and has cooled, place in fridge for half and hour to firm up.
- Using a very sharp knife, cut the cake into 5cm squares.
- To make the chocolate sauce, mix together the icing sugar and cocoa powder.
- Melt the butter in the microwave and pour into the cocoa mixture.
- Add the tablespoon of boiling water and whisk until smooth and cooled.
- Place in a round bottomed container.
- Place a square of cake on a fork and dip in the chocolate mixture and then roll in the desiccated coconut.
- Place the coated squares on a wire rack to dry.
Notes
- Lamingtons are suitable for freezing for up to two months.
- Seal them well in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap.

Just wondering, is there something missing from the icing recipe? I’m just making this for the first time and was expecting a runny icing?
