Lamington Cake

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180Β°C (160Β°C fan-forced). Line the base and sides of 2 x 20cm deep cake pans. Place butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until well incorporated. Add in the vanilla.

Step 2

Slowly add flour and baking powder alternately with the milk, until well combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 3

Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for 45 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in pans before removing to a cooling rack. Once cooled completely, refrigerate covered until ready to decorate.

Step 4

For icing, combine the icing sugar and cocoa in a large mixing bowl. Make a well and add the butter. Pour in the boiling water, allowing it to melt the butter slightly. Mix well until smooth.

Step 5

To decorate, trim the top off one of the cakes, so it has a flat surface. Spread the outer edges with chocolate icing. Working quickly, then sprinkle with the coconut. Place onto a cooling rack to set. Then with the second cake, cover the top and sides with icing, and sprinkle well with coconut. Allow to set.

Step 6

To assemble, place the first cake onto a serving plate, spread the top with jam and then spread or pipe on the whipped cream. Top with the second cake and serve.

Tips

  • If the icing gets too thick, simply add a splash more water. Or if it becomes too runny, allow it time to set a little before applying to the cake.
  • It’s easier to ice the cakes when they are chilled.
  • Once assembled, store in the refrigerator.
