Easiest Ever Lamingtons
Which means this easy cheat on traditional lamingtons is ideal. You can have refreshing lamingtons on the table in around thirty minutes, perfect when you have a sudden craving or unexpected visitors (or your kids tell you because they are going to bed that they have to consider something to talk about for any class party the next day).
This recipe relies on a bought sponge. You can buy a double layer plain sponge in the supermarket. I buy the stop sponge when it’s on markdown and stash it within the fridge until I need to use it.
Having it iced helps increase the making practice too – iced cake is easier to cut into squares and the icing pieces faster. Of course you don’t need to use the cake frozen, it’s that if it’s in the freezer you don’t have to thaw it.
Easiest Ever Lamingtons
2 cups icing sugar
Slice the sponge cake into 7cm x 5cm (approximately) rectangles. Sift the icing sugar and cocoa into a moderate dish. Add the dairy tiramisu and cheesecake calories boiling water and mix until smooth. Pour the coconut right into a small bowl. Work with a fork to independently drop the cakes in to the chocolates icing then convert them over. Don’t keep them in the icing too long or they’ll go soggy – just dip, cover and convert. When protected with icing remove using the fork and place them within the coconut. Turn the cakes over until they are protected in coconut. Place the lamingtons on a wedding cake rack until the icing is defined.
Here’s a vintage tip for coating your cakes with the icing. When you have a Tupperware Pick-a-Deli (the beetroot/pickle pot) put the icing into the container and then use the strainer to dip the cakes. Simply put one in the strainer, lower it into the icing, lift it out, let it drain for a couple of seconds and then tip the wedding cake in to the coconut. Saves messing about with forks and getting drips everywhere. There are other similar storage containers around, when you have one that will hold your icing and your cake use it.
Just a few things:
If this is your initial visit, welcome! If you are a normal visitor, welcome back.
This is my record of the daily challenges the Armstrong family faces once we live life the Cheapskates way – debt free, cashed up and laughing – and make an effort to stay that way.
Here I discuss the tiny things I do that save us big money and the bigger things that could only save a small amount. I talk about things that work for all of us and things that don’t. I state it as I view it, so easily try something and think it’s a dud, I’ll tell you. And if I try something and it functions, I’ll share it with you.
You’ll get an insight into a extremely frugal family members living a very comfortable 21st Century lifestyle and I hope it stimulates and inspires you while you make your journey to living life the Cheapskates way.
