Making modified lamingtons

by liilingon

Lara found the recipe for lamingtons one day, and decided she wanted to make them. They looked so yummy!! Thank goodness for Lara because without her willingness to try it, I would only look at the pictures and salivate.

The recipe is straight forward but has a number of steps.
She is a one-socked baker.
Progressing through with butter and reduced sugar.
Adding the eggs one at a time,
and scraping down the sides.
Then she folds in the dry ingredients.
And pours it into the baking pans.
Then they go into the oven. After cooling down the baked cakes, they get cut into pieces, which go in the freezer for about an hour.
Then came the part of dipping pieces of cake in chocolate sauce and rolling in coconut. The recipe for 30 pieces called for EIGHT CUPS of SUGAR 😳 That’s on top of the two cups in the cake, which she reduced to one cup. The lack of sugar resulted in too runny of a sauce to coat the pieces of cake. So she decided to pour it over the cakes instead.
Then sprinkle the coconut over top. Great thinking on the fly!
Voilá! Modified lamingtons – now called lamborghinis in this house. The result was supremely yummy.
At a much later date, digging into one that we’d stashed in the freezer.
