- Lamingtons are little pillows of sunshine. Moist sponge cake, velvety whipped cream, sharp acidic jam and crunchy coconut...all covered with a luscious coating of raspberry or chocolate.
There's been a long standing rivalry between New Zealand and Australia claiming the lamington's state of origin. Whatever its birthplace, we can both agree that it’s a cake well worth fighting for!

Recipe: Chocolate & Raspberry Lamingtons - Chef Mark Simmons
Yellow Sponge Cake Ingredients:
cooking spray or butter (for greasing cake pan)
4 eggs (room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons melted butter
Raspberry Jam Ingredients:
2 pints fresh raspberries
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon allspice
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
Whipped Cream Ingredients:
4 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Raspberry Jello Ingredients:
1 package of raspberry jello
1 cup hot water
1 cup cold water
Chocolate Ganache Ingredients:
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 cup whole milk
8 oz package of unsweetened shredded coconut
optional: fresh raspberries (cut in half) and mint leaves for garnishing
Yellow Sponge Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Grease surface of an 8x8 inch square cake pan. Line with parchment paper then grease surface again.
3. Whisk eggs until frothy then gradually add powdered sugar.
4. Add vanilla and continue whisking.
5. Continue to whisk until the ribbons of the batter falling off the whisk remain on the surface for a few seconds.
6. Sift flour, salt and baking powder and then delicately fold together with wet ingredients.
7. Fold in melted butter.
8. Carefully pour batter into cake pan.
9. Bake for 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out dry.
10. Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from cake pan and then let cool to room temperature. Place in refrigerator uncovered for 30 minutes (this will help to achieve cleaner cuts).
11. Remove all outer crust from sponge cake and cut into 2 inch cubes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes (this will help dry the sponge cake out, allowing it to absorb the chocolate and raspberry coating more effectively).
Raspberry Jam:
1. Combine raspberries, sugar, allspice, cinnamon, water and salt into a heavy bottomed pot and simmer on low heat for approximately 30 minutes until thick and shiny.
2. Place a spoonful of jam on a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If a clean path remains, the jam is the correct consistency.
Whipped cream:
1. Combine heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla into a pre chilled mixing bowl and whisk until you achieve stiff peaks.
2. Fill a piping bag with the whipped cream then refrigerate.
Raspberry Jello:
1. Whisk together raspberry jello powder and hot water without causing aeration.
2. Add cold water and whisk until thoroughly combined (when dipping your sponge cake, jello should be just above body temperature).
Chocolate Ganache:
1. Place a heat proof bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a bain marie.
2. Combine bittersweet chocolate and milk in bowl.
3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap to help chocolate cook more efficiently. After a few minutes stir together until emulsified.
Assembly:
1. Setup 3 bowls for: raspberry jello, chocolate ganache and unsweetened shredded coconut.
2. Dip each side of the sponge cake (about 1/2 centimeter deep) into raspberry jello or chocolate ganache until well coated.
3. Sprinkle each side with unsweetened shredded coconut.
4. Place cubes on a wire rack and refrigerate for 30 minutes so the coating can firm up.
5. Starting at the top edge of the sponge cake, slice halfway down at a diagonal to create an opening for the filling.
6. Smear the inside of the opening with a 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam.
7. Pipe in whipped cream.
8. Place a halved raspberry and sprig of mint on the whipped cream for garnish.
Plate and enjoy.

I like the way you cut it for filling the cream it absolutely classy and beautiful
Thank you all for watching 🙏 Like and subscribe for more recipes! Also let us know what you want to see next...
I was missing these so much. I followed your recipe and made them yesterday and these tasted even better than the store bought ones. My cravings were satisfied and everyone was so impressed. Such a cute and delicious treat. The Raspberry one was my favourite. Thank you so much for the recipe!
I use the Edmonds’s Three minute sponge recipe and cook it in 12 muffin pans because I found the cut edge put crumbs in the icing. At least round ones give out the message they aren’t store bought! But I can never stop my hands getting covered in icing and I’m too impatient to stand for ages watching icing drip from a piece of cake so I get far too much on each cake. I fill with unsweetened whipped cream (why spoil such a tasty product with sugar and flavouring?) and home made jam, not necessarily raspberry. If I must use a jam from the supermarket I use Anathoth.
2014 April Fools' Day prank on New Zealanders by "The Guardian Australia"
Due to an April Fools' Day prank in "The Guardian Australia", on 1 April 2014, written by Olaf Priol (an anagram of April Fool), some people, falsely believed that the lamington was originally a New Zealand cake known as a "Wellington", existing before the Australian lamington. A later article in The Guardian commented that this prank had even fooled Wikipedia.
Great recipe...I have bought these before but never made. I am going to have a go! Thanks. You have a nice calm manner throughout which I really like.
Thanks Miranda! This recipe always evokes nostalgia and takes me back to my first tuck shop lammo 😊 Let us know how they turn out!

I didn’t know about Lamingtons, but now I need them in my life. Sounds like a fun project to do for the holidays!
Yes! I want to make them with Corita ❤️
Hello, @@cocknasian, I am a real human. It is my belief that pie is superior to cake. However, my body would very much enjoy this Lamington cake.
@@joncab3037 one could say that the lamington to a kiwi is the apple pie to an american 😉
these look far superior than the Americanized abominations. i would have never guessed jello syrup is flavoring/coloring for the raspberry ones- resourceful lil kiwis.
I have never heard of Lamingtons but I am a huge fan of Zingers. This is the gormet equivalent. I need to try.
I love zingers too but they were recalled recently. Look it up.
I love your music arrangement! Thank you for a great tutorial
I really wanna try that at Bondi & Bourke
Wow 🤩 looks absolutely beautiful..
And here I thought this famous recipe was South African 😂 your recipe was totally mesmerising, loved it👌
Yummy! They look delicious! I can’t wait to try these tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
Wooow
Awesome
I am going to break with my Australian birthright to claim Kiwi things as our own, and say you've earned ownership of lamingtons! They look fantastic.

There’s no such thing as a New Zealand lamington. They wish.
Da best Lamingtons thnxs
Hello, how much does one cup of flour make in grams? Please thank
Google says 120g = 1 cup of flour
يمييي
You sound Australian, American and English!!
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 !
How do you make raspberry ones?
@Humi 6:06
Powdered sugar ????? Did you mean icing sugar or castor sugar?????
Icing sugar!
That’s what Americans call icing sugar.
He's right raspberry is not the best it's the token variety of Lamington you make when you've ran out of chocolate ingredients.
When I lived in Australia, I never ever saw a raspberry or pink lamington, This is a very Kiwi thing, it seems. I don't know why Jeremy is being so fussy, but the pink variety is more popular.
No they are not from New Zealand. They are Australian they came from Stawell in Victoria they. I should know because my nan made them and my aunties. So kiwis don’t know how long the lemington . I see your young a kiwi.
My New Zealand grandmother was making these over 80 years ago so not new to new zealand at all, have been here for a very long time
Who cares what you think! Lamos are NZ! and that's that!
@@francisheperi4180 Nah, mate. Created in Queensland, Australia, and named after Lord Lamington, governor of Queensland.
@@dwj8620 Nah!
Your young and the young don’t know. Why try to say lemington is kiwis it’s not. See you don’t know your history. It’s proven Australian.
I think they were pranking us. Itz all good, just a bit of fun. Please dont get upset. Lamington is Aussie. But the Pavlova is Kiwi.. that's straight up.
Givus a kiss, mwah!
