Making lamingtons - the perfect treat for the festive season
For our last recipe of the year we made lamingtons. In some of our research we found that the original lamington recipe is said to have originated either in Australia or New Zealand - however it is also a firm South African favourite!
I share my recipe which you can also adjust to make sweeter or more cocoa rich as you prefer.
Ingredients
For the sponge cake
2 cups of flour, sieved
2 tsp baking powder
125g margarine
1/2 cup castor sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
A pinch of salt
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
For the Chocolate syrup
2 cups water
1 cup milk
6 tbs cocoa powder (add more for deeper coca flavour)
1/2 cup icing sugar - adjust to your taste
1 tbs margarine
Coconut dust to coat.
Serve with a lovely cup of tea or coffee. If you allow to sit overnight the syrup will soak into the sponge cake and make the lamingtons even more decadent!

Ah thanks so much! No real secret. for the hair I just use coconut oil and wash less often. As for youthfulness, I am not sure. Maybe it is keeping busy hey?
Well done looks very good .

Hi Aunty... wow I saw your channel has reached 10k subscribers...congratulations. I've been with your channel for a long time. So happy to see it growing. Thank you for being a mum to us all and teaching us to cook. I'm a person that does not like cooking but your easy recipes make me confident enough to try making new food. Happy Holidays to you and your family. I'm excited to try this recipe for the holidays. I'm very inexperienced with cooking but I do tend to bake a lot so hoping the cakes come out as delicious as yours looks 🙏

Namaste Gayathri dhi love all your recipes can you please send me a jalebi recipe thanks a lot
Hello Sweet Mama,🙏In Mauritius we call it simply “Gato Carré Rouge” simply translated into Red Cube Cake. these beauties are covered in a red sugary sirop and coconut.For the red sugary coating:½ cup icing sugar 2 Tbs hot water 2-3 Tbs strawberry jam (You may need a little more) Juice of ½ lime or lemon (this is added to cut through the sweetness) Red food colouring 1 cup desiccated coconut Prepare the red icing sirop: Put the strawberry jam in a bowl, add warm water and give it a good whisk to break all the lumps and you end up with a runny texture. Add the icing sugar a little at a time with the lime juice. Taste for sweetness and adjust as needed. I personally don’t like it too sweet I prefer the little tangy taste. Add the food colouring and mix well. Put the desiccated coconut in large plate or tray. Taking one by one dip the sponge squares in the red colouring and roll in the coconut. Leave on a rack to dry while you continue with the rest.🥰🍰
