Ingredients
Cake
- 1 Vanilla Sponge Cake homemade or store-bought
Sauces
- 0.25 cup Strawberry Sauce
- 0.25 cup Mango Sauce
- 0.25 cup Chocolate Sauce
Coating
- 1 cup Desiccated Coconut
Instructions
- Cut the vanilla sponge cake into bite-sized square pieces.
- Place the cake pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 2-3 hours to firm up, which will help them hold their shape when dipped.
- Meanwhile, prepare your sauces.
- For the mango sauce, purée mango pieces with sugar. Add a little milk if needed to thin the consistency. Briefly heat the mixture to dissolve the sugar.
- For the strawberry sauce, follow the same process as the mango sauce, but whisk in a little cornstarch while heating to thicken it slightly.
- Use store-bought chocolate sauce for convenience.
- Ensure all sauces are at room temperature before dipping.
- Remove the chilled cake pieces from the freezer.
- Dip each cake piece into your chosen sauce, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Spread the desiccated coconut on a plate. Gently roll each sauce-coated cake piece in the coconut until fully covered.
- Place the coated Lamingtons on a parchment-lined tray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Repeat the dipping and coating process for all cake pieces, using your preferred sauce combinations.
- Refrigerate the Lamingtons for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling enhances the flavors and textures.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Bake the cake in a square tin for easier cutting.

Expert Tips
- For a professional finish, use a cake turntable when coating the lamingtons in the coconut.
