Lamingtons are soft squares of vanilla sponge cake, dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut, sometimes sliced and filled with jam or whipped cream. Light, fluffy, and slightly sticky, they’re a nostalgic treat served at school fairs, bake sales, cafés, and Australia Day celebrations.
Named after Lord Lamington, a former Governor of Queensland, the dessert is said to have been invented by a chef in Brisbane around the early 1900s. It’s now considered a national icon and a must-try for visitors.
