Ingredients

  • 1   Vanilla Sponge Cake (Preferably, Square Shaped )
  • 1/4 Cup Strawberry Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Mango Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup Chocolate Sauce
  • 1 Cup Shredded or Desiccated Coconut

Instructions

  1. Cut vanilla sponge cake into square pieces. Put these pieces in the freezer for a few hours, around 2 to 3 hours so that they harden up then.

  2. In the meantime prepare the sauces, chocolate sauce, mango sauce and strawberry sauce. Let the sauces be at room temperature. If using store bought sauces then omit this step.

  3. Now take out cake pieces from the freezer.

  4. Dip the pieces in sauce and roll it in desiccated/shredded coconut.

  5. Put these on parchment paper.

  6. Make all the lamingtons like this, dipping in the sauce of your preference.

  7. Keep these in the refrigerator for some time as they taste superb when chilled. Serve with love.

Recipe Notes

Notes

  1. If you are baking your own cake for making lamingtons then bake in a square baking tin, preferably,  as it will be easy to cut squares from it. If round in shape, then you will end up wasting a lot of it.
  2. As mentioned earlier do not forget to put the cake pieces in the freezer for a few hours. Otherwise, they may crumble while being dipped in the sauce.
  3. You can roll these in shredded or desiccated coconut as per your choice.
  4. You can use ready-made sauces also but I used homemade.
  5. For mango sauce, just puree mango pieces with some sugar. Add a little milk, if too thick. Give it a boil and that's it.
  6. For the other two sauces, you may read here... chocolate sauce, strawberry coulis.
  7. One tip, dip 5-6 pieces in sauce first, keep them separately then start rolling in coconut.
