Oh I am very impressed ... you've done all Aussies proud! They're such a popular treat down here, a bit fiddly to make but worth it in the end.

Just as a bit of background to this fabulous treat:

This Australian culinary icon, which consists of sponge cake dipped in chocolate and liberally sprinkled with fine desiccated coconut, is believed to have been created through an accident at work by a maid-servant to Lord Lamington, the thoroughly-British eighth Governor of Queensland.

The maid-servant was working at Government House in Brisbane, when she accidentally dropped the Governor's favourite sponge cake into some melted chocolate. Lord Lamington was not a person of wasteful habits and suggested that it be dipped in coconut to cover the chocolate to avoid messy fingers. Lord Lamington devoured this new taste sensation with great delight and the maid-servant's error was proclaimed a magnificent success by all!

Well that's one of the stories anyway .... lamingtons are also sometimes cut in half with one half being covered with strawberry jam and some cream and then the other half placed back on top ... also very nice!

Hi Bernie ~Thank you for your kind comments. I enjoyed the interesting history lesson as well.
My husband thinks that jam and cream is an excellent idea guess I’ll be buying extra cream this weekend! ;0)
