Lamingtons

Take two slices of white cake, spread jam in between, then cover in chocolate syrup icing and roll in coconut. The result, a yummy Lamington! The Lamington is a popular sweet treat in most cake shops and bakeries. Pink lamingtons offer a colourful contrast without the chocolate icing and in some stores you will find lemon iced lamington too!
