LAMINGTONS

Lamingtons image

Lamingtons are little sponge cakes coated in chocolate and grated coconut. A traditional Australian treat that appeals to most. Any firm type of plain cake can be used: butter cake, pound cake, Madeira cake or genoise sponge. Note: desiccated coconut is a slightly dried shredded coconut--not sweetened.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, room temperature
½ cup milk
4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
⅓ cup cocoa powder, sifted
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup warm milk
1 pound unsweetened dried coconut

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x12-inch pan.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Beat 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Wrap with plastic wrap and store overnight at room temperature to give the cake a chance to firm up before slicing.
To make the icing: In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Add the melted butter and warm milk and mix well to create a fluid, but not too runny, icing.
Cut the cake into 24 squares. Place parchment paper or waxed paper on a work surface, and set a wire rack on the paper. Pour the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl. Using a fork, dip each square into the icing, coating all sides, then roll it in the coconut. Place onto rack to dry. Continue until all lamingtons are coated.

Ingredients

¼ cup Dijon mustard
8 (4 ounce) pieces round steak, pounded 1/4 inch thick
½ cup minced onion
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
8 slices bacon
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 (12 ounce) can beef broth
1 ¼ cups water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup warm water
¼ cup sour cream

Steps:

Spread 1/2 tablespoon mustard over one side of each piece of meat. Sprinkle the onion, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the steaks. Lay one slice of bacon on each piece. Roll the steaks jelly-roll style and secure with toothpicks.
Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meat on all sides until browned. Add the beef broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; cover and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
Remove the meat rolls. Strain the broth mixture and return liquid to the skillet. Whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup of water.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: This will ensure that your lamington roulade is as delicious as possible. Fresh raspberries and cream will give you the best flavor.
Don't overcook the sponge cake: It should be cooked through, but still moist and fluffy. Overcooked sponge cake will be dry and crumbly.
Let the sponge cake cool completely before filling it: This will prevent the filling from melting and making the cake soggy.
Use a good quality chocolate ganache: This is the key to a delicious lamington roulade. Make sure to use a chocolate that you enjoy the taste of.
Chill the roulade before serving: This will help to set the ganache and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

The lamington roulade is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist sponge cake, creamy filling, and rich chocolate ganache, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
