Easter Lamingtons
This Easter recipe makes 18 lamingtons and takes 30 minutes to prepare, no cooking is necessary.
Ingredients:
2 cups of desiccated coconut
Red and blue food dye
400g unfilled sponge (can buy pre-made from supermarkets)
3 cups of icing sugar
½ cup hot water
Directions
- Divide coconut between two plastic bags. Add a few drops of the food colouring to each bag (blue in one and red in the other).
- Twist the top of the bag and hold firmly then rub the outside of the bag to mix the colour through the coconut.
- Transfer the coloured coconut to plates.
- Use an oval cutter to cut shapes out of the cake.
- Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and add the hot water. Stir icing until smooth. It should be quite thin.
- Use 2 forks and dip each piece of cake into the icing. Let the excess drip off and then place into the coconut and roll to coat evenly.
- Place each lamington onto a wire rack to dry.
