Equipment
- 1 Thermomix
Ingredients
Sponge
- 50 g butter cut up (plus extra for greasing)
- 120 g white sugar or other sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 120 g self-raising flour or 120g plain flour with 2 teaspoon baking powder
Icing
- 30 g butter
- 160 g full cream milk
- 500 g icing sugar
- 50 g cocoa powder or raw cacao powder
- Desiccated coconut or shredded coconut for coating
Instructions
Sponge cake
- Preheat the oven to 190°C fan-forced & grease and line a square cake tin (20 cm).
- Place the sugar into the mixing bowl of the Thermomix and mill 20 sec/speed 10.
- Insert the butterfly whisk. Add the eggs and beat for 7 min/50°C/speed 3.
- Add the butter and vanilla and combine 5 sec/speed 4. Remove the butterfly whisk. Scrape down the sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
- Add the flour and mix 10 sec/speed 3.
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 25 minutes (190°C) until golden on top. Leave it to cool in tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. You can refrigerate it after it cools to room temperature to make icing easier.
Icing
- Place butter and milk into the mixing bowl and heat 2 min/80°C/speed 2.
- Add icing sugar and cocoa powder and mix 20-25 sec/speed 4. Scrape down the sides then pour into a deep bowl.
- Cut the sponge into pieces. The size depends on how big you want your lamingtons. Place them on a wire rack with a sheet of baking paper under it.
- Half fill another deep bowl with the coconut.
- Using two forks (or your fingers if you don't mind getting them dirty - but just one hand), dip each piece of sponge in the chocolate icing to cover it then place it back on the rack to let the excess drip off.
- Place the icing coated sponge one at a time in the coconut bowl and toss to coat. Once coated place in an airtight container. You may need to add more coconut to the bowl.
