Elevate your lamingtons with a hint of Kahlua for a delicious twist.
Ingredients:
  • Pinch of salt
  • 25g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour
  • 4.00 gm baking powder
  • 6 eggs, at room temperature
  • 155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 4.40 gm vanilla extract
  • 50g unsalted butter, melted
  • 40.00 gm warm water
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 75g (1/2 cup) pure icing sugar
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 130g (1 1/2 cups) moist coconut flakes
  • 500g pure icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp coffee powder
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Kahlua liqueur
  • 20g unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Grease a 20 x 30cm lamington pan and line it with baking paper, leaving extra hanging over the edges for easy removal later.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add salt. In a separate large bowl, use electric beaters to beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla for 8 minutes until thick and pale. Sift one-third of the flour mixture over the egg mixture. Gently fold until combined. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in 2 additions.
  • Gently drizzle the butter and water along the bowl's edge, then fold until combined. Transfer the mixture into the prepared lamington pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until it springs back when lightly touched. Let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Halve the cake horizontally and trim the edges.
  • Whisk mascarpone, icing sugar, and thickened cream until light and fluffy. Spread the mixture over the base and place the remaining base on top.
  • Sift icing sugar and coffee powder into a heatproof bowl. Stir in Kahlua and butter until smooth. Place bowl over a saucepan of warm water.
  • - Cut the cake into 15 squares, then arrange coconut on a plate. - Dip one cake square into the icing using two forks, shaking off any excess. - Roll the square in coconut to coat it, then transfer the lamington to a lined tray. - Repeat the process with the remaining cake squares, icing, and coconut. - Allow them to set for 1 hour before serving.
