I totally intended to lay off the sugary and cake-y recipes for a while, but since it’s Australia Day this weekend, and we had a great Australia Day extravaganza for the kids today, we made Lamingtons. There are loads of recipes online, but I found this one intriguing since it used a lot less flour and wasn’t actually what I’d call a sponge cake. It was really, really tasty though. The original is from the Thermomix® Forum but I made a few changes.
Upon reflection, I think this is a brilliant recipe if you are making it the same day you’ll be eating it. Normally Lamingtons are better with day old cake, but with this cake it doesn’t make a difference at all. It’s perfect for same day Lamingtons.

Serves: 20
Ingredients
- 120 g brown sugar

- 120 g Self Raising Flour
Lamington Icing
- 25 g unsalted butter

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190C.
- Place sugar into mixing bowl and mill 10 sec/speed 10.
- Add eggs and insert Butterfly.
- Whip eggs for 7 min/50C/speed 3. It'll form an almost meringue like texture, smooth and creamy (and delicious, just sayin')
- Melt the butter in the warm oven and also butter a 20cm pan.
- Add the vanilla essence to the melted butter
- Add the butter mix to the Thermomix® bowl, for 5 sec/speed 4.
- Remove Butterfly and add the flour.
- Mix the dough for 10 seconds on interval speed (dough setting).
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 15 - 20 minutes.
- It should be springy to the touch.
- Cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely, then freeze for 30 minutes before cutting.
To Ice
- Put butter and milk into mixing bowl and cook 2 min/80 C/speed 2..
- Add sugar and cocoa and blend for 20 - 25 sec/speed 4.
- Sprinkle coconut onto a tray, and pour icing into a bowl.
- Dip the cake pieces into the icing and make sure it's totally coated. Put the cake onto the coconut, and toss it around so that it all is covered by coconut. If you hold it, it doesn't receive an even coating.
- Place on a stone tray or in a glass bowl and leave to set.
