INGREDIENTS
Cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk
Chocolate Coating:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
Coating:
2 cups desiccated coconut
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake into 16 squares.
Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add the melted butter and milk, stirring until smooth.
Coat the Lamingtons:
Place the desiccated coconut in a shallow bowl.
Dip each cake square into the chocolate coating, allowing any excess to drip off.
Roll the coated cake square in the coconut, ensuring all sides are covered.
Place the coated Lamingtons on a wire rack to set.
