Shredded coconut, for rolling
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch baking pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, cut it into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Dip each cake piece into the chocolate coating, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess coating to drip off.
Roll the coated cake pieces in shredded coconut, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the lamingtons on a wire rack to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
