lamingtons

Coconut-dusted cake squares

Lamingtons are small sponge cakes coated in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut, originating in Australia.

They're typically cut into cubes and sometimes split and filled with cream or jam.

A staple of Australian baking, lamingtons appear at school fundraisers, church fetes, and afternoon teas: She brought a plate of lamingtons to the bake sale.
