The traditional icing for a Lamington is a chocolate glaze. We’re making this from scratch, the Paleo way. Instead of store-bought chocolate icing, which is packed with unnecessary sugar, we’re using honey, coconut oil, and cacao powder, a more raw form of chocolate, to make our icing.
This Keto Lamingtons recipe makes 12 serves. 1 serving is 1 Lamington (just 3g net carbs per cake). Preheat oven to 170C/340F. Prepare a 9in square baking tin by greasing and lining with parchment paper. Set aside
Place a wire cooling rack over a baking tray so it’s ready for the dipped lamingtons. Tip: Keep your boiling water near by, if your chocolate sauce starts to harden, add a dash more water and mix it in thoroughly then continue to coat as normal One at a time, place each slice of sponge cake on a fork and dunk it in the chocolate sauce.
Mix together the icing sugar, cocoa, melted butter and boiling water. Pop the desiccated coconut into a separate bowl. Place a wire cooling rack over a baking tray so it’s ready for the dipped lamingtons.
