YUMMY Super Tasty TUTTI FRUTTI CAKE
INGREDIENTS
For the Sponge Cake:
• 1 cup AP flour
• 4 eggs
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1 Tsp baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1 Tsp vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Icing:
• 1/4 cup (25g) cocoa powder
• 1½ cups (180g) icing sugar
• 3 Tbsp boiling water (adjust as needed)
1/2 Tsp butter, melted
Additional:
2 cups (200g) desiccated coconut for coating
INSTRUCTIONS
● Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8-inch square cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
● Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and almost doubled in volume. This might take about 5-10 minutes.
● Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to deflate the batter. Carefully fold in the melted butter.
● Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
● Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Chocolate Icing:
● Sift the cocoa powder and icing sugar into a bowl. Add the melted butter and boiling water. Stir until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve a thin, dipping consistency.
Assemble the Lamingtons:
●Cut the sponge cake into 2-inch squares.
Place the desiccated coconut in a shallow bowl.
● Dip each square of cake into the chocolate icing, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Roll the coated cake in the coconut, making sure all sides are covered.
● Place the lamingtons on a wire rack to set.
Once the icing has set, serve them & impress your guests.
