Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, then beat them until thick and creamy.
   • Gradually add the caster sugar and beat well until the sugar has dissolved.
   • In a separate large bowl, mix the self-raising flour with the cornflour.

2. Combine Ingredients:

   • Add the butter to the hot water, allowing it to melt.
   • Incorporate the flour mixture into the beaten eggs and stir well. Then, add the hot water-butter mixture and combine thoroughly until smooth.

3. Baking the Cake:

   • Preheat the oven to 180°C.
   • Pour the batter into a greased 23cm square cake tin, ensuring even distribution.
   • Bake the cake for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.

4. Prepare the Chocolate Icing:

   • In a bowl, mix the icing sugar and cocoa powder until well combined.
   • Add the melted butter and hot milk to the dry mixture and stir vigorously until a smooth chocolate icing forms.

5. Coat the Lamingtons:

   • Cut the cooled cake into squares of desired size.
   • Dip each square into the chocolate icing, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
   • Roll the chocolate-coated squares in desiccated coconut until fully covered.
   • Place the coated Lamingtons on a wire rack to allow any excess icing to drip off and the coconut coating to set.

6. Optional Step:

   • For an extra burst of flavor, consider cutting the Lamington squares in half and spreading a layer of jam before dipping them into the chocolate icing.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the icing has set, your Lamingtons are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at room temperature alongside your favorite hot beverage for a true Aussie treat.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a sweet indulgence, these Lamingtons are sure to impress with their heavenly combination of moist sponge, velvety chocolate, and crunchy coconut.
