Today is Australia Day, and to mark the occasion, I made Donna Hay's Lamington Slice.
Lamingtons are an Aussie classic, but I was attracted by Donna's slice version, which is a twist on the original.
This slice was super easy and quick to make, although I found that I needed more icing than was stated in the recipe.
The resulting slice is true to the essence of a lamington, with a light sponge cake base, topped with moist chocolate icing and coconut.
The verdict - beauty!
Happy Australia Day to all of my Australian readers.
Happy Australia day to you! I keep meaning to make lamingtons as they contain everything I love
