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
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
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.
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
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 🤔
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
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 😊
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
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!
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
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.
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 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!
☺️
Someone needs to send this to communitychannel
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
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
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
I’ve been making these for 20 years!! All the way here in Australia. I absolutely love this channel
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. ♥️🍓
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?
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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
Lamington is the king of all cakes from Australia. Awesome!
that vanilla bottle really speaks to me aesthetically
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.
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 🥰
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👍
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
Looks unreal! Hope yous are keeping well and safe ❤️
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
Yummy lamingtons. Great Australian treat. We love these. I love making them.
I like how you write the recipes into grams rather than cups. 💖💖
Yuppp!! Professional baker
British baker!
These were lovely Sally. My grandaughter couldn't get over how soft they were when I took yet another of your delicious cake recipes over. It's going to be banana cupcakes this week, and as soon as I can get hold of some decent red colouring paste, I will have a bash at the red velvet cupcakes. Many thanks for all these lovely recipe and tutorials you've been giving us. Jackie
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
Sally the Lamington temptress! Yummy looking forward again Sally 😉xx
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.
So far I think I'm so happy for this perfect recipe of lamination ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I am very impressed by Jemma many talents. First building a cake shop, making it grow and expend, hire the best people who she can relay on, like Sally who didn’t probably know that besides her baking talents she is a great presenter of the recipe she shows us, is charmig and sweet. And I am sure she is part of the genius idea to make baking sets to sell to Cupcake Jemma fans. Seems this is a new business which will stay once the Coronavirus crises is gone. A great entrepreneur minded team! Wishing you every success in overcoming this difficult time. Bravo!
Viviane Pirsch thank you for your lovely message!! xxxx
Such a great idea. Thank you for sharing how to make lamingtons.
N a t h a n💝💝💝
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)
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 ?
The recipe is so good!!!! I even tried to make a match coating by replacing cocao powder by matcha powder.. Delicious
Wow I was thinking of making the cake batter with matcha. I didn't think of making the icing matcha flavored too! Good idea!
hello cupcake jemma and sally loving the baking lots off love xxxxx
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
Was telling my family for a looong time, that I will make one day lammingtons. I think the time has come, doesn't look hard. Thank you ❤
This was the first recipe I made on my channel when I was homesick 🥺💚
😳😳😳😳😳
Yay iv made Lamingtons before they are amazing this method of making the cake looks good x
They look scrumptious! As an aussie, I approve of this 😊
PHEW! That means alot!x
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😋
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 !
These look awesome! We have these in New Zealand as well. You will always find them in every bakery. They are always in chocolate or raspberry
By the way, we usually cut them in half and fill them with cream and a dollop of jam
I tried these lamingtons about 5-6 times and every time I made them they were perfect
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
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.
Angela Kelley 🥰🥰🥰
CUPCAKE Jemma is literally my idol. She's a role model to all bakers and aspiring pastry chefs out here.Thank you for letting me learn from you. Uploading a video in my channel in the next 30minutes.
Guys let's all like this comment if you think cupcake jemma is the GOAT.
If you whisk egg white and sugar to make a white creamy structure and fold all other ingredients later, it becomes super spongy and fluffy. I have tried that method and everyone wants me to bake again and again for them with same 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!
"I don´t think you should share them at all" - Wise advice lol
Slice them in half and sandwich in between fresh whipped cream. Yum. The strawberry flavour are very good as well.
OMG! This was a great recipe to share! Yummy!
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?
Just made these and couldn't wait to eat them so I put the sponge in the fridge for three hours as suggested. I can honestly say these are the best chocolate lamingtons I have ever eaten. I have tried so many recipes and bought so many from the supermarket. The best part about these lamingtons is that they are homemade so I can eat them whenever I want. I'm going to use the social distancing rule as a reason for why I didn't share these with anyone else and instead ate them for myself :D
Hi, may i know the texture after u put the sponge cake into fridge for 3 hours? Will it hard?
After 3 hours, u took out and coat with chocolate and coconut then place again in fridge?
Thank you.
I plan to make it for my brother's birthday
@@anniechuie8364 Not at all. It just chills the sponge, making it easier to handle when icing. Otherwise, the sponge remains nice and fluffy for a few days in the fridge.
@@anniechuie8364 Once iced and flecked with coconut, I place the Lamingtons back in the fridge to firm up the icing.
@@Arkanaax thanks for your reply. I worry the cake will have hard then will affect the texture.
I will follow u to fridge for 3 hrs then coat with chocolate n coconut.
Thanks 😘
@@Arkanaax thank you 😘
Will follow ur advice
Hope things turn out great
I'm watching this while fasting. Now I really want cake.
I just made these today and they are so so good! I did what was shown in the video, with coating my lamingtons in a bowl of shredded coconut but after a while, the coconut just got super chunky because of all that chocolate. What I will try next time is putting the lamington in an empty bowl and just sprinkling the coconut as I go... I wonder if that will make the process a little easier.
Amira Nour it will
Lovely to see this. Used to make Lamingtons while working in an Irish-owned pie shop here in Canada. The ones we made had icing made of Hot water , cocoa and sugar. Still, they were yummy.
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
Hi Jemma, these lamingtons are a super hit!!! Glad to have made them.
Missing the jam and cream in the middle 😁
Lemon and raspberry lamingtons are great also
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😀
this looks so delicious, i can't wait to make it!
Those look yummy! Such a lovely charming video. Thank you for sharing. I'll put this on my to-do list!
Never has being a square looked so cool! I guess you could say I'm really Coco-*NUTS* for these!
Passion for food 😜
They came out incredibly delicious!! Such a sweet and buttery taste😍😍😋
Here’s a conversion chart for those of us in the U.S.
- Melted Butter: 3.5 Tbsp
- Whole Milk: 5.41 oz

Great to see Cupcake Jemma every time 😍😍
By the way today is my 18th birthday
Cool to see you guys 🎂🎂🎂
Happy Birthday! 🎂 🎉
Happy birthday 🎂
I have just made these today and they came out very very delicious!! I love them. I highly recommend it.
I wanna make them now. Thanks for the recipe, love.
I am so grateful for this recipe. Its my favourite & since i lost my recipe i didn't bake. I came across this channel by chance. Thank you.
I tried this recipe as it’s Eid today and they turned out anazing Alhamdulillah! So so fluffy, they went down a treat 🙈
I make these for my birthday every year 😍😍😇 it has become such a nice tradition.
Nina M I love this idea!
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!
Yes!! I love lamingtons! And her shirt is so cute too!
Agreed. Made this on Friday and ridiculously good. However, i did reduce the sugar by 30g for the cake batter. Will be making it again this week. Thank you for this recipe.
That is perfectly delicious Sally. Yum!
ooooo those look delicious
It's all these friendly people that make it such a joy ,to want to try these recipes🌈🍰
Keep baking ,stay safe and well 🌈
Made your delicious Jamaican ginger loaf cake today, super easy to make and soooooo delicious, so no picture. I’ll be making the lamington’s at the weekend. Thanks again Sally and the team at C&D.
Eeee yay I'm so glad you loved the ginger cake! x
Looks so delish
In Australia they are in two layers with strawberry jam between , and the chocolate sauce is light with icing sugar,cocoa powder and water
They look reallly yummie
THANK YOU SALLY. (PS more videos with Sally)
OMG thank you Sally
Another Top Tip !
Spit the side 3/4 way in ,spread Raspberry or Strawberry jam & "PIPE IN FRESH WHIPPED CREAM. Ha ! Your Welcome
Best I've had was a vanilla cup cake (using custard powder in the cake mix) version. When cooled take off the patty pan coat in choc then coconut pop in fridge to set .. Cut the top off the cupcake add jam & cream like a scone, then put the top back on. The custard powder used makes it tastes & looks beautiful. Freeze cupcakes to have on hand, all to do is ice Cheers
I tried this out with the same quantity and it came out so well and everyone loved it😋♥️😍
Hats off to you Jemma,u r so brave to share all your delicious treat with public.
The vibes Sally gives are so nice 🙃
Agree! She could easily carry her own channel 😂 (Although she’s perfect within cupcake Gemma not suggesting she leaves at all!)
You did surprisingly well Jemma
I enjoy cooking and Baking - and have a huge compendium of Books and recipes
Had a friend in the 1970s who was a pastry chef and he taught me many things.
Turned out he was allergic to flour and then studied to be a TV Technician.
One thing I learned from him is that the Jam used in Jam donuts is a combination
Raspberry - Plum and Apple " RASPLUMANDAPPLE "
I have been baking - cooking for decades --- I find it relaxing and satisfying
Many years ago a woman sent me a message advising me that her mother died.
I replied LOL
Another message arrived - reading: What's so funny about my mother dying ?
I replied : Nothing : In my language LOL means Lots of Love
BTW:
I have been to restaurants where they have huge plates and only a little bit of food and charge a fortune.
All right.....a two-fer Sally week.
