Easy Lamington Cake


Time Saver Dessert

Ingredients

Buy a 1 slab sponge cake (one day old)
4 cups icing sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
2 - 3 cups desiccated coconut

To make the icing
Cool the cake for at least half an hour in the Fridge or Freezer, then cut into squares or fingers

Combine the Sugar and Cocoa in a large bowl

Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan until the butter is melted.

Add to the sugar/cocoa mixture and mix to a fluid yet not runny consistency

Directions
Line up in a row the following. Sponge Fingers, Chocolate Icing mixture in a bowl, coconut in a shallow container or plate, and a cooling rack with paper underneath.

Using a fork dip the sponge fingers into the icing, roll it in the coconut covering it well, and then place on to the rack to dry.

Once they have dried, place in an airtight container and leave to "mature" for at least a few hours, preferably overnight, before eating.
Enjoy!
