My favourite comes from a cafe in Camberwell that makes them with Madeira cake, fills them with jam and uses a chunky grated coconut. Boring? No way.<br />Variations? All recipes have to be flexible enough to adapt to changing tastes.<br />I actually find that if I'm not wanting to spend an entire afternoon making lamingtons, I will make the cake and freeze it. Then when I want to make a batch of lammies, I just need to defrost it, make the chocolate sauce and then it's just a matter of dipping and coating in coconut.<br />I often fill mine with ganache. Dammit, now I have a craving.jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172250527011569072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-34168585819001219292010-01-27T17:13:23.302-08:002010-01-27T17:13:23.302-08:00I'm with Jacqui.

I also loved the idea of taking that Chuck guy's Lamington quote and calling the cakes the bloody, the poofy and the woolly :) And woah at being contacted by those folks about the whole thing... Some people take their cakes very seriously indeed :) I can understand them though, maybe if one was to serve those at some restaraunt it'd be better to come up with new names so that people don't get confused, but since it's your personal blog I believe you can call them whatever - it's just your personal take on the good ol' Lamington!Julia, the Thanksgiving Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542064466882299908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-52818183248732700292010-01-14T05:16:04.549-08:002010-01-14T05:16:04.549-08:00I think I've just died and gone to heaven.
