This dessert from faraway Australia is a sponge cake drizzled with chocolate and rolled in coconut flakes. By the way, Lord Lamington himself, after whom the treat is named, did not like him, calling him "damn woolen cookies". However, it has a ton of fans - try it too!
It is necessary
- For 24 servings:
- - 8 eggs;
- - 300 g of sugar;
- - 2 tsp vanilla extract;
- - 250 g flour;
- - 50 g of corn starch;
- - 4 tsp baking powder;
- - 300 g butter;
- - 300 g of coconut flakes;
- - 800 g of dark chocolate;
- - 400 ml of milk.
Instructions
Step 1
Grease a large baking tray or line with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Step 2
Melt the butter in the microwave or in a water bath and set aside to cool slightly. At this time, sift all dry ingredients into a large bowl: flour, cornstarch, baking powder.
Step 3
Beat eggs with a mixer thoroughly with sugar and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients to the mixture, mix quickly but thoroughly and pour into a baking sheet, which is sent to the oven for 20 - 25 minutes. Allow the finished biscuit to cool slightly on a baking sheet, and then remove and cool completely on the wire rack. Cut into portions.
Step 4
Melt the chocolate in a water bath with the addition of milk. Pour the coconut flakes onto a large plate.
Step 5
Dip each piece of sponge cake in chocolate so that it is covered on all sides (I do it carefully with two forks) and then roll in coconut. Place on foil or baking paper until the glaze hardens.
