Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut sugar and lemon zest, mixing well until fragrant.
Add the egg and whisk until frothy. In a saucepan, gently heat the cream, honey, and butter until just melted, then pour this mixture into the egg mixture while stirring.
Next, sift in the flour and baking powder, folding gently until just combined.
Grease a square silicone baking mold with butter, then fill each section about two-thirds full with the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool slightly before removing from the mold while still warm.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, water, and lemon liqueur. Stir until fully combined.
Once the biscuit cubes are cool, generously brush them on all sides with the syrup, allowing them to soak it up for maximum flavor.
Step 3
For the meringue, start by whisking the egg whites until foamy. Slowly add the sugar while continuing to whisk, until the mixture is glossy and stiff peaks form.
Spread the meringue over the syrup-soaked biscuit cubes, or pipe it decoratively on top for an elegant finish.
Step 4
Let the meringue set for a short time. Once it's slightly crusted, your delicious lamingtons are ready to be served!
Enjoy these delightful treats with a cup of tea or coffee, or share them at your next gathering!
Servings
These lamingtons are not just a treat for the taste buds; they are a feast for the eyes too! Once you’ve created these fluffy wonders, you can explore the art of plating them in style. Dust them with coconut flakes and serve on a beautiful platter or arrange them in a nostalgic picnic basket for social gatherings. 🌼
For a unique twist, pair your lamingtons with a fresh fruit compote or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a mouth-watering dessert experience. 🍦 The contrast of textures and flavors makes a delightful combination sure to please everyone!
Imagine serving these airy treats at a garden party, their coconut coating contrasting with the vibrant colors of flowers around. Don’t forget to make a big batch because these treats will disappear fast! 🚀
Equipment
This is ideal for making lamingtons because it allows for easy removal of the sponge cubes without sticking. Make sure it's well-greased for best results!
Use different sizes to keep your ingredients organized while mixing the batter, syrup, and meringue.
A good whisk or electric mixer will help achieve the perfect fluffy consistency for your batter and meringue.
A spatula is essential for folding your ingredients gently to maintain that light texture in your cake.

Variations
Looking to switch things up? Here are some creative variations that cater to different dietary needs! ⚡Gluten-Free Lamingtons can be made by substituting regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. Your guests won't even notice the difference!
If you're searching for a Vegan Lamington option, replace the egg with a flaxseed meal or a chia seed egg, and to make it even more delicious, use coconut milk instead of cream. This variation keeps all the creamy goodness while being plant-based! 🌱
Faq
- What is the best way to cut the lamingtons without making a mess?
Use a sharp knife that's been dipped in hot water to cut through the sponge cleanly. Wipe the knife after each cut for neat edges!
- How can I tell when the lamington sponge is fully baked?
Insert a skewer in the center; it should come out clean. Be careful not to overbake, or they'll dry out!
- Can I freeze lamingtons for later?
Absolutely! Just make sure they are well-wrapped. You can thaw them at room temperature to enjoy fresh later.
- How can I jazz up my lamingtons besides the traditional chocolate coating?
You can use different flavored chocolate or even a fruit glaze for a unique twist. Don't hesitate to experiment with toppings!
- What’s the secret to making the meringue really fluffy?
The key is in beating the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Ensure there’s no yolk in the whites, as this can prevent proper whipping.
- How do I prevent the syrup from soaking too quickly into the cake?
Let the sponge cubes cool slightly before dipping them into the syrup. This way, they won’t absorb too much liquid at once!
