Classic lamingtons
It’s a bit of a process but so, so worth it!
Quick & easy mini lamingtons
To prevent icing from becoming too thick, keep it over a bowl of warm water. Prepared sponge cake can be used instead of the Madeira cake. Alternatively, you can use your favourite buttercake recipe it is best made the day before making the lamingtons. Note
Pink lamingtons with musk cream
Combining two classic Aussie treats – musk lollies and coconut-coated lamingtons – these sweet morsels from The Australian Women’s Weekly’s cookbook, ‘SWEET’, are sure to be a massive success.
Panna cotta lamingtons
They’re super moist with a raspberry surprise inside, then dipped in a decadent chocolate ganache.
Little white lamingtons
If you’re looking for a new twist on an old favourite, these little white chocolate lamingtons are the business. Bite-sized pieces of feather-light sponge, dipped in white chocolate and coated in moist shredded coconut.
Marbled lamingtons
To keep the coconut free of chocolate drips, spread out half the coconut in a tray and coat half the lamingtons before using the remaining coconut for the remaining lamingtons. This gives the lamingtons a clean look. Lamingtons can be frozen for up to 3 months. Note
Gluten-free lamingtons
Not your average lamingtons, these gluten-free favourites use berry jam on the outside instead of chocolate icing.
Raspberry cheesecake lamingtons
These raspberry delights are a cute creative twist on your classic lamingtons! They’re dipped in pink icing and layered with cream cheese filling and fresh raspberries for a fun treat everyone will love.
Lamington angels
These cupcakes are definitely the cutest way to eat a delicious lamington.
Giant lamington
The humble lamington is one of Australia’s most well-loved desserts. This version creates a jumbo version of the tasty chocolate and coconut sponge, and stuffs it with fresh whipped cream and raspberry jam to produce a wonderfully sweet cake.
Lamington pops
Turn a classic Australian sweet into a decadent cool dessert.
Lamington checkers cake
Play edible checkers with this game cake! Use pink lamingtons for a pink themed checkerboard cake, if you prefer.
Lamington sponge cake
Two sponge cakes are sandwiched with cream and raspberry jam to make the ultimate dessert.
Mini lemon almond lamingtons
These gorgeous mini lemon almond fingers are a zesty take on the classic Australian lamington. The combination of soft sponge rolled in coconut and drizzled with a sweet lemon syrup will leave you reaching for more.
White chocolate lamingtons
You love the regular chocolate version, now try white chocolate version.
Lamington cream layer cake
The classic Australian lamington gets a mega-sized makeover for this delicious giant layer cake.
Choc-raspberry lamington slice
Leaving a 1cm (½ inch) border of sponge without cream will make the icing of the sides of the slice easier to do. The weight of the top layer of sponge will push the cream far enough. Note
Lamington whoopie pies
You can use just one 300ml carton of thickened cream for this recipe. Whoopie pies are best eaten the day they are made. Note
