Australian Lamingtons (my recipe)

Disclaimer: This is NOT a real Aussie recipe, it is my recipe, but hey, I think they work. It is the recipe of Lamingtons the popular Aussie dessert that people have on Australia day the 26th of January. Here it is.

INGREDIENTS:

For the cake:
-100 grams of melted butter.
-100 grams of sugar.
-130 grams of flour.
-1 teaspoon of baking powder.
-4 eggs.

For the coating:

-250 grams of dark chocolate for melting.

-115 grams of coconut. 

-some strawberry jam.

STEPS:

1. Bake the cake. Mix all the ingredients and place on baking dish for about 30 minutes to 180 degrees.

2. Let it cool off when it is cool, cut it all in squares. 

3. Now get each square and slice it in half and put some mermelade to glue it, do this with all the squares.

4. Now melt your chocolate in saucepan and place and spoon of melted chocolate on top of each lamington. Now spread with knife around it. Let them cool for about 10 minutes. 

5. Now, before the chocolate hardens start sprinkling coconut on them, on the top and let them dry. Then I put the remainder of the coconut on a plate and just make sure all sides are coated. 

That's it. I hope the photos help to understand the process. Every year I make this recipe, and every year I forget to the logistics. But not next year. :)

And is there anything more Aussie than a gum tree??
