Ingredients
-
1 store-bought square sponge cake
-
2 cups vanilla bean frosting
-
1 lime, zested and juiced
-
1 cup icing sugar
-
3 cups toasted, desiccated coconut
Sweet and soft with a hint of lime, welcome back, the humble lamington. Makes about 20.
Pair with 1800 Coconut Tequila – with a slightly sweet, tropical taste, this versatile spirit is great 'on the rocks', in a shot, or amazing in your next margarita.
-
Cut the sponge cake in half horizontally.
-
Use 1 cup of frosting to spread over one slice of sponge, sprinkle with the lime zest and sandwich with the remaining sponge layer.
-
Cut into small squares (about 2-3cm each).
-
Whisk remaining frosting with the icing sugar and enough lime juice (or water) to make to a thin icing.
-
Arrange toasted coconut on a plate, then dip each square into the icing to coat all over, then toss in the coconut until completely covered.
-
Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
