Instructions to make Lamington Style Cake:
- Preheat oven to 170°C. Line the base and sides of a square cake tin with baking paper. *Note: To help the cake to rise evenly, you can butter the baking paper on the sides.
- Beat the softened Butter in a mixing bowl with a whisk until smooth. Add Sugar and Vanilla Extract, and beat until creamy. Add Eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add Buttermilk and Self-Raising Flour, and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until cooked through.
- Stand the cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool.
- To make Chocolate Icing, place Icing Sugar and Cocoa Powder in a bowl, and mix well. Then add Butter and Boiling Water, and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Spread the Chocolate Icing over the cooled cake and sprinkle with Desiccated Coconut while the icing is still wet. Cut the cake into cubes.
The little sponge cake is dipped in chocolate icing and then rolled in desiccated coconut. These little treats are sold at school fairs and bake sales around the country. And even though Lord Lamington disliked the cakes — he described them as 'bloody poofy woolly biscuits' — lamingtons slowly gained in popularity, and today they are an Australian icon. Lord Lamington was known for wearing a homburg hat that looked like the cakes. For many years lamingtons were served on state ceremonial occasions in Queensland.
