Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a square baking pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Once the cake is cool, cut it into squares.
-
In a shallow bowl, combine the desiccated coconut and icing sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth.
-
Dip each cake square into the cocoa mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Then roll the square in the coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Place the coated lamingtons on a wire rack to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
