Australian - Lamingtons, Jam
6 ounces butter
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups self rising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 cup thin strawberry jam
desiccated coconut*
Cream butter and sugar.
Add vanilla and eggs.
Mix in sifted flour and salt alternately with milk.
Spread batter into greased and floured Lamington tin.
Bake in 350 (moderate) oven for 30 minutes.
Cool. Then cut into squares.
Spread jam thinly over cake.
Toss into coconut.
Notes:
*Desiccated coconut is different than the more common
sweetened coconut sold in plastic bags or cans in grocery
stores. Desiccated coconut has a sweet coconut flavor
and dry (not sticky) texture. You can find it in health
food stores or specialty food stores, but if time doesn't
permit this extra trip, just use sweetened coconut.
- To make chocolate lamingtons, make the same except
replace the jam with melted chocolate.
