a recipe that Nat never gave us all these years lol
my first thought too haha
I clicked because I never got that recipe.
hahahah dang. my first thought when i saw the title, "wait are you allowed to put up the recipe???" (realised that i thought that because we never got it from nat bahahahah)
It's okay guys, Nat is going to make the video! Just like how my Dad will come home...eventually
Top tip! If you wanna make these extra special, half the batch and put it in two separate trays, then you put jam (usually raspberry jam but you can use strawberry or another kind of berry jam), between the two halves before covering them in icing and coconut. This is how my family does it (yes I am Aussie) and I think it just adds that extra something :)
Exactly
But the secret jam is RASPLUMANDAPPLE
A combination of Raspberry - Plum and Apple
It's a Pastry Chefs secret
Don't tell anyone
I LOVE lamingtons! My Pa used to call them dandruff cakes 😂 He and my Nan would have a little production line when they made them. And they always made them “plain”, like these. An easy level up for a dessert or special occasion is to fill them with jam and cream 😊
FUN FACT - like the Pavlova , Lamingtons ARE from Australia, - the story that Lamingtons are a New Zealand creation was an April fools day joke played on New Zealanders by The Guardian Australia,,, look it up !
In Australia we sometimes cut them in half and put jam in them and they are DELICIOUS 😍 🇦🇺
That's what I was going to comment, too! Yum! 🇦🇺
Yes!! And raspberry ones are delicious too!! 😍
Or jam and whipped cream in the middle, taste great as a chocolate sponge too
I was about to say that too!
Oooh now I want to try to core one out like Jemma’s cupcakes and fill it, put the top back on and then dunk it and cover it. Surprise jam! Wonder if I can pull it off or end up in a gooey mess.
Wow! Those Lamingtons squares look so tall and perfect! They remind me Minecraft and I'm thinking to build my Minecraft home with those delicious coconut cubes :D
These are my favourite! In South Africa we call them Ystervarkies, which literally translates to "little porcupines".
😂😂I love the red ones and I've alwasy called them "red cakes" till last year when i learned "Lamington"
@@bmissmail that's called a snowball!!! Usually round. Ive tried many but shoprite's one they sell it in 12's are the best.
@@kellytruebody2264 they are if they have marshmallow.
Interesting 🤔
We make Lamingtons in South Africa too. When I was a child, we always memorised the birthday of the kids whose mums made Lamingtons for the obligatory school birthday treats at my school.
I love south African lamingtons
I've never heard of Lamingtons before. But man do they look yummy!! Sponge cake, chocolate and coconut? Yep, I'm on board... 😋
Australian treat
It's easier to use a sheet pan for the coconut cause you can just flip it around. Great Aussie tip right there :)
What type of milk do I use please?
Here's a written step-by-step version.
Chocolate Lamingtons
(makes around 12)
Vanilla Sponge Cake
Ingredients:
200g caster sugar 200g flour
4 eggs 1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence 100g butter, melted
Chocolate Icing
50g butter, melted 290g icing sugar
160ml milk Pinch of salt (optional)
45g cocoa powder 250g desiccated coconut
Method:
Preheat the oven to 170ºC. Lightly grease a 20cm square cake tin and line the base and two sides with baking paper, or lightly grease and dust with flour.
In a large bowl, add the caster sugar, eggs, and vanilla essence. Using an electric beater, beat until the batter is light and fluffy.
Sieve in half the flour and carefully fold using a wooden spoon. Once the flour is combined, sieve in the baking powder and remaining flour, folding again until fully incorporated.
Add the melted butter into the sponge mixture and fold until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Once the vanilla sponge cake has baked, remove from the oven and leave it to cool down overnight or place the sponge in the fridge for around three hours.
Trim the edges off the sponge to ensure the sides are flat and square, then cut into twelve even squares.
For the icing, in a medium bowl, pour butter and milk inside and whisk until combined. Next, sieve in the cocoa powder and whisk once more.
Next, sift in the icing sugar and salt (optional) until the icing is thick and chocolatey, ensuring no dry ingredients remain on the sides of the bowl.
Shake the desiccated coconut into a medium bowl, and transfer some of it into a smaller bowl so the whole mixture doesn’t become a chocolate mess
Prepare a large drying rack with a paper towel or sheet of baking paper underneath as you will be placing the lamingtons on top once they are coated in chocolate icing and rolled in coconut.
Drop the vanilla sponge squares into the chocolate icing one at a time and, using two forks, move the sponge around until coated in icing. Allow some of the icing to drip off placing it in the coconut.
Using your hands or a spoon, flick coconut onto the sides before using your hands or a spoon to roll the rest of the lamington in the desiccated coconut. Once covered, place on the drying rack while you make the remaining lamingtons.
Leave in the fridge for 5 to 10 minutes before eating (or don't, if you're like me :D).
Wow!! Amazing.. want to try right away
Thanks bro
Yum, I love a lamington, especially the jam-filled version! I like to use a couple of baking dishes for dunking, because you can just pop them in, flip once to cover in chocolate, then repeat in the coconut!
That's the secret , don't use a bowl use a baking pan to ice them
I saw these made when I was little and for years I have struggled finding the recipe. When I did find it, I have started making them every Christmas. The only difference is I coat them in crushed walnuts and I add either rhum or orange liqueur in the chocolate icing. Great minicakes indeed
"I don´t think you should share them at all" - Wise advice lol
You need to make these when the shop opens again! When I visited, along with my amazing cupcakes, I got a coffee and I almost cried because after weeks of crap coffee while touring around the UK and Europe, your coffee tasted exactly like what we get in Australia. I reckon if you had a lammo to go with it there would have been tears!
☺️
Tried the recipe, definitely delicious :) Though I cut down the icing sugar of around 30g for the chocolate glaze, I still find it a little too sweet. Would advise you guys to cut a little too. Great recipe, will be making them for Christmas
Hi, Hope you're well.. awh thats amazing Bless you.. May I ask did you just use 30g of icing sugar rather than a whole 290g? Would it still be sweet enough for 30g.. Thank you x
@@nazakatali8990 Haha it's been over I year, I think I was supposed to say that I cut down 30g of sugar, meaning I probably used 250g instead of 290g haha, and yeap it was still sweet and your recipe is great 😂❤️ Thank you
@@yanpaws2818 Ahh aha Bless.. Thank you so much for getting back to me.. hope you have a lovely day.. :)
You can make a pink version too, using raspberry jelly
What a wonderful version to try! We have them in the chocolate variety in Central and Eastern Europe, it is a childhood staple favourite of every child in Hungary.
Raywin Knewstubb That reminds me of Zingers. i.ebayimg.com/images/g/a00AAOSwslRat-ZU/s-l640.jpg
Appaddict01 we don’t have those in the UK or NZ
Yesss jelly cakes are the best!!
@@raywinknewstubb9160 yes you have them in New Zealand !
Sheesh...these videos make me happy and sad at the same time. I just want someone to invent the technique to grab stuff from the screen already.
The Midnight truthseeker I’m guessing in 20 years we will have 3D cooking machines in our kitchens that will do all the steps she did.we would just type or send a code from these videos to the machine and it will cook what ever. In 40 years there would probably be some type of a technology that creates what ever we want out of nothing.
do you let it cool overnight in the baking tray itself and turn it out the next morning? Or do you leave it to cool overnight after taking it out from the tray? Really want to try it but don't want to mess anything up😋
Looks absolutely delicious! Totally not gonna be skipping homework to make them 😂
😅😅😅😅
Dont let ur homework distract you to make this delicious
Haha well this is kinda homework no? It’s like, science maybe?
Thanks for flying the 🇦🇺 flag 👏🏻👏🏻
Lamntons I have not had these since I was a teenager and my neighbour who was Australian moved back to Australia, thank you Sally Hope all is well with everyone there and Jemmas doing fine, keep well, keep safe and keep baking
chris pease thank you! Jemma and the whole gang are well and healthy thank you! X
Earlyy
I like how you write the recipes into grams rather than cups. 💖💖
Yuppp!! Professional baker
British baker!
I made this and it’s amazing and like she said it was so much fun to make!
(My whole family loves them thank you so much)💗💖💖
I love writing done your recipes 🧁🍩🍰
(Everyone whose reading my comment please give this a try it’s amazing)
Such a delicious Aussie cake/slice. Off to make some right now!
I have not made these for many years
Yeah. With coco and cocoa. Pure Australian. Come on.
This was the first recipe I made on my channel when I was homesick 🥺💚
😳😳😳😳😳
I’ve been making these for 20 years!! All the way here in Australia. I absolutely love this channel
that vanilla bottle really speaks to me aesthetically
These are called "chupavci" in Serbia, and they've been around here as one of the classic Sunday family lunch treats, since 70s. Today I learned their Australian name and origin thanks to your video, and you reminded me I should make them this weekend! :) 💕
they're from NZ:)
I forgot what these were called in Serbian. I was like wait aren't these serbian? 😂
was just about to write that Croatians call them Čupavci :D
@@elliteequine3785 that's even more awesome! NZ is so far away from my country and it's obvious that Lamingtons are so tasty that they've managed to be popular all the way on the other side of the globe 😁
@@username1212b That was my thought, too😀 I was so happy to watch her make one of my favorite childhood treats 🥰
Never has being a square looked so cool! I guess you could say I'm really Coco-*NUTS* for these!
Passion for food 😜
I used to eat these in Poland when I was a kid, my friend's mum used to make these and she would also add some booze (maybe in chocolate?) and she called them "Krystynki". Never knew these originate from Australia :D
We call this čupavci or huligančki in our country🙂
Missing the jam and cream in the middle 😁
Lemon and raspberry lamingtons are great also
Great to see Cupcake Jemma every time 😍😍
By the way today is my 18th birthday
Cool to see you guys 🎂🎂🎂
Happy Birthday! 🎂 🎉
Happy birthday 🎂
yyyuuuuuummmmyyyyuyyy!!!!!!
Yummy lamingtons. Great Australian treat. We love these. I love making them.
Looks unreal! Hope yous are keeping well and safe ❤️
OMG I love these 😋 !! They serve lamingtons in a local Aussie cafe ( @downundercafeltd ) & I’m missing these sooo much!! Thank u for sharing guys 🙏🏻😊
First
No you're not. I was acc first.. just saying...
Yay iv made Lamingtons before they are amazing this method of making the cake looks good x
So far I think I'm so happy for this perfect recipe of lamination ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
this looks so delicious, i can't wait to make it!
Strawberry lamingtons are my favourite, and are really delicious as well. You use a not quite set jelly instead of the chocolate sauce, you can make lime, pineapple, whatever jelly you have on hand, and you fill them with whipped cream to eat.
I mean English jelly right? Like crystals not American jelly (jam) because I’m getting confused 😭
@@humi191 Jam is basically just jelly but with pieces of fruit. If you only have jam, you can heat it until it's liquid and strain it, to turn it into jelly.
They look scrumptious! As an aussie, I approve of this 😊
PHEW! That means alot!x
Oh wow those look so yummy. Sally your the bomb. I will make some of these. Thank you Sally for sharing your talent with us.
This is the Best CAKE-BAKE-ALONG EVER. Cake comes out exactly like in the video, which I'm so proud of myself right now lol. Thank you!
Second time baking, the Butter is the star of the recipe. It is worth paying a bit for a good quality butter such as Lurpak. When the cake bakes, the entire room smells like that lovely butter. What a joy. This time I made it into a layer cake sandwich with strawberry jam and top with chocolate drizzle and a few strawberries. Love it. ♥️🍓
Such a great idea. Thank you for sharing how to make lamingtons.
N a t h a n💝💝💝
The traditional way to serve them is sliced across the middle, spread some raspberry jam on the bottom and pipe in some whipped (chantilly) cream!
I really like the whipped cream idea
Do you do the filling they cover it in chocolate and coconut?
agaaustralia.com.au/recipe/2016/12/29/jam-and-vanilla-cream-lamingtons
Dip in chocolate and coconut then split and do the jam and cream
Love that idea. Sounds much more exciting.
Have never heard of those! Gorgeous! I wonder if “toasted” coconut would work. I like it better..... Wow! What a great looking dessert!
They are an Australian thing you can put jam and cream in the middle as well... we sometimes do
Great dipped in Strawberry or Raspberry gelatin as well
I’m not sure, the texture would be very different
Raywin Knewstubb sponge dipped in strawberry jelly and covered in coconut are called Jelly Cakes in Australia! They’re also another aussie treat, and trust me they’re delicious!
Limelight Lyrics I meant using toasted coconut, the texture would be very different
We also call them lammos in Australia.
Delicious yumminess
Or lammies
I haven't watched yet but queue every Australian saying how their mum makes them differently 😂
YAY! I'm the first one here!! Love your videos Jemma!!
ooooo those look delicious
You are so adorable! I was just watching your video, and my husband heard the part about "not shar[ing] them at all". He laughed the cutest laugh! We were both so charmed by you! Keep these amazing recipes coming, and thank you also for sharing your smiles and cheerful personality! Hugs to you all!
Thank you Camille! This is so nice to hear. Love to you and your family x
THANK YOU SALLY. (PS more videos with Sally)
I'm watching this while fasting. Now I really want cake.
Hi
Lets be honest... Whose looking for something to make during quarantine? Like if you are!
Usually we add a layer of Jam in the middle here in Australia!
Yes! Jam is a must!
In Brisbane (QLD) only the commercially made ones have jam. The bakery shop ones are always just as per this recipe. And my fav!
They’re missing the jam filling in the middle 😢
Ik 😭
Sally the Lamington temptress! Yummy looking forward again Sally 😉xx
Hot tip - cut in half and sandwich the sponge with a thin layer of raspberry jam! 😉
We have similar cake recipe here in Finland, but the cake batter has also choco powder on it and icing has tiny bit of dark coffee. The icing is then poured on top of the cake and cut to pieces after it has cooled down. Coconut and coffee flavor go so well together. Love it!
ooh that sounds interesting!
I’ve never heard of a Lamington. I need to get out more. Good job and thanks for sharing this with us.
Well they are an australian/ Newzealand cake so unless youve lived in those places why would you have heard of these cakes ?
We have this in Hungary as well 😊☺️ We call them 'kókuszkocka' - which is like coconut cube 😊
It looks great 😍 What is the size of the pan? 😊
I used a 9 x 9 "
If you don’t like coconut, could you substitute finely ground toasted nuts (pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts)?
You could but they won’t be lamingtons. Lamingtons have to have coconut.
Raywin Knewstubb , oh well 🤪
who else wants to bake too but doesn't have an oven? please do some treats that dont require oven too!! :(
Can I use stork for the mixture
OMG! This was a great recipe to share! Yummy!
I can’t believe this! I thought I imagined them! No one ever remembered them. They were my favourite at school canteen I never knew the name of them. Thanks so much
You can also cut them in half & add jam and cream, then they’re really delicious 😋😀
I said the same thing... that was how mum taught me
julie slowgrove if we took a lamington to school we had it plain but at home we had jam & cream😀
I tried this recipe and they are ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! The whole family loved them. It's so super simple and easy to follow. Definitely making these again soon.
Slahnty 😂🥰
Sally pretty. Thank you for Shari g this delicious lamington cake recipe.
Sally, this is marvellous! You totally nailed it!! Sending well wishes from Australia ❤️
Samuel Giles eeee thank you!!! I was nervous I wouldn’t do them justice, they are my new fave!
Well done Sally.
First!
I know this is probably not going to be liked but is it possible to make a cake that is actually low in calorie..? I've been having your NYC cookies 5 days in a row, had the biscoff cupcakes before then and this weekend I'm waiting for a 10 inch tin to make Jemmas brownies! I cant stop so if you can pls help a sister out and make a low calorie cake so it still satisfies the cravings without losing the deliciousness!
Hmm it's not a cake but I recommend banana bread if you like that? You can make it with only bananas to sweeten and it's still quite desert like, but it's a bit better because all of the sugar comes from the banana. You could try googling 'banana bread no extra sugar' if you think you'd like it :)
As an Australian and ex baker you have done a pretty good job. Top tip cut them in half (like cake) and add Jam (strawberry or raspberry)
Hi there
I wanted to ask a quick question
As ur an Aussie baker - I’ve had laminations before but they were covered with jam & coconut (I prefer them to the chocolate covered one) do u know how to make the jam icing? Thanks
Very nice dessert recipie Jemma! Can we make the spange chocolate? If we can how many grams cocoa powder i can but? Have a nice day! Have a nice month! 👍👏🍫
I tried these lamingtons about 5-6 times and every time I made them they were perfect
All right.....a two-fer Sally week.
Hello Sally and Jemma,
Can I substitute real chocolate if I dont have cocoa powder for the chocolate icing? If so, what quantity?
Thank you very much!!!
Wait where's the orange?
Another fantastic video. Sally, you’re amazing! It’s wonderful to see how far you’ve come with your presenting skills. You’re a master now! 😍 love you xxx
I'm quite interested Sally (and I'm sure I'm not the only one), where are you from? 🙂 (Without sounding rude, I just like to know!)
The South of England :)
😍😍😍😍😍😍
I'm from eastern Europe and grew up with these. My mouth was watering while watching the video. I had no idea they were Australian and called Lamingtons. Thank you, Sally. Now I'll head to the kitchen and make them👍
Hi Sally. When i first saw these i thought they were those things that you can buy in the supermarket with marshmallow inside, can't think what they're called. anyway, when i bake i always share with my neighbors, in fact i call it force feeding them lol, they love it really. As you said keep these all for yourself i will tell them you said i should. Haha. Thanks for another great recipe. Stay safe lovely
Are they tea cakes
You too!! Xx
I would love to see your take on a Danish dream cake/drømmekage one day.
My mom used to make these when I was a kid. A really nostalgic dessert for me. One of these days I really ought to try making them, just to see how they turn out. Thank you for the recipe and instructions. Love your channel and videos.
Yep. Australia is f***ing amazing.
They're a New Zealand treat actually. And so is the Pavlova!
Ellite Equine The Guardian's 2014 April Fools' Day Prank Edit
Due to an April Fools' Day prank in The Guardian on 1 April 2014 written by Olaf Priol (an anagram of April Fool), some people[17][18][19] falsely believe that the lamington was originally a New Zealand cake known as a "Wellington", which existed before the Australian lamington.[20][21] A later article in The Guardian commented that this prank had even fooled Wikipedia
Looks so delish
Oooh love me a lamington mmmmmmm x
That is perfectly delicious Sally. Yum!
Lamingtons is an old popular recipe in Cape town South Africa.
I think thts where it originates from
Love ur channel🥰
Love the comment to not share them lol. Sometimes one needs a secret goodie to get one through the day. Keep on smiling Crumbs and Doilies crew and Sally's smiles make my day.
