One of Australia’s most cherished desserts – a lamington is a cube of fluffy sponge cake that’s been coated in chocolate then rolled in desiccated coconut, often divided into two layers with a layer of cream or strawberry jam or even both if you’re feeling really adventurous, sandwiched in between.
Lamingtons are said to be named after Lord Lamington, who served as the Governor of Queensland in the late 1890s. The story goes that he had some unexpected guests, so his chef dipped leftover vanilla sponge cake in chocolate and coconut before serving them to the guests. Probably that’s why they say ‘the world’s best desserts are often created by accident!’
