Neopolitan Lamington Recipe

Here's a fun twist on the age old clouds of loveliness we know as Lamingtons. For those who haven't tried a Lamington before they are delicious sponge cake portions, covered in a chocolate sauce mixture and rolled in coconut.

I recently tried my hand at this Lamington recipe (for the sponge base) care of Beatrix in North Melbourne and it worked very well... I would definitely consider this a fail proof sponge recipe and the Neopolitan twist was achieved by making both caramel and raspberry sauces along side the traditional chocolate sauce.

Chocolate Sauce Recipe

Icing Sugar 300g
20g butter
80mls - 100mls Boiling Water
50g Cocoa

Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix.

To make the caramel and raspberry sauces simply omit the cocoa and add an extra 30g of icing sugar to the mix, then add a few drops of water based flavouring to taste.

Icing sugar 330g
20g butter
