Hello, my name is Amanda and welcome to this video where I show you how to make Lamingtons for Australia Day. If you are not from Australia you might not know what Lamingtons are. They are simply just a sponge cake dipped in chocolate icing and then covered completely in coconut and they are so delicious and scr And we Australians go absolutely crazy for them around this time of year when we celebrate Australia Day. The recipe that I will be sharing with you today is from this book. It is called Baking Day and it was published by the Australian Women's Weekly. Now of course if you want to give this recipe a go all of the details that you will need are down in the description box below. So here is how you make these delicious squares of happiness. To make this recipe you will need six eggs, 150 grams of caster sugar, 50 grams of cornflour, 75 grams of plain flour and 50 grams of self-raising flour. Firstly to ensure that a maxim So do it once into one bowl then again into another. Place the flowers to one side to be sifted for a third time a bit later on. Next break all six eggs into a large bowl and then using an electric mixer beat them for about 10 minutes until they become thick and creamy. Then gradually add the sugar one spoonful at a time until dissolved into the mixture. Slow the mixer down and remove the bowl then sift the flour for the third time into the mixture. Using a slotted metal spoon gently fold in the flour ensuring not to over mix losing all the air you've just beat into it. Carefully pour the mixture into a pre-aligned rectangular tin. Spread the mixture into the corners and then place in an oven set at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Once cooked place on a wire rack to cool for a few minutes then gently remove the sponge from the tin and peel back the baking paper to help allow it to cool completely. And once the sponge is cool cut it up into 16 to 20 equal squares. For the chocolate icing you will need 500 grams of sifted icing sugar, 50 grams of sifted cocoa powder, 15 grams of melted butter and two thirds a cup of milk and then about 160 grams of desiccated coconut. Mix the cocoa with the icing sugar. Add the melted butter and milk then mix until smooth. Using one hand dip a sponge square into the chocolate icing covering it completely. Drain off the excess and then toss a heat-loaded coconut all over it using your other hand. Place the lambing tin onto a wire rack to set and repeat the process with the rest of the sponge squares. Now of course I did forget to mention that near the end of this recipe things do get a little bit messy a little bit hectic but I guarantee you it is totally worth it and they are just so delicious. Now of course let me know if you're going to give this recipe a go and if you are so much who is not from Australia and have never tried a lambing tin before and are going to make this recipe let me know how you go and tell me if you So of course thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you another time very soon.
