    Ingredients

    • 125 gm Butter or possibly margarine
    • 3/4 c. Caster sugar
    • 2 x Large eggs
    • 2 c. SR flour
    • 1/2 c. Lowfat milk
    • 1/2 tsp Vanilla
    • 3 Tbsp. Boiling water, (up to 4)
    • 2 Tbsp. Cocoa
    • 30 gm Butter
    • 2 c. Icing sugar, sifted
    • 2 c. Desiccated coconut

    Directions

    1. Haven't heard of the song "Here we go round the Lamington Plate". Is it in tune to "Here we go round the mulberry bush" My daughter has read the book
    2. "Possum Magic" and she loves it too. She's 10 and has liked which for years too.
    3. Cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy. beat in Large eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition. Mix in sifted flour alternately with combined lowfat milk and vanilla. Pour mix into a greased 18 x 28 cm lamington tin. Bake at 180 centigrade (this equals 350 fahrenheit) for 30 to 40 min. Turn onto a cake rack to cold.
    4. Make the cake a day or possibly two before cutting and icing the lamingtons, as fresh cake will usually crumble (the recipe says, not me!) Cut the cake into 5cm (2") squares.
    5. ICING: Pour boiling water over butter, add in cocoa and mix well. Beat in icing sugar till mix is smooth. Using a long pronged fork, dip each piece of cake into chocolate icing and then roll in coconut. Leave to set on a cake rack.
