Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup chocolate icing
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. First things first—preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease up a 9x13 inch baking dish so nothing sticks!
2. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Get it nice and combined.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar. You'll want this to be light and fluffy—beat it well!
4. One by one, add in the eggs, mixing them in thoroughly. Then, stir in the vanilla, spreading that lovely flavor throughout.
5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. We want to keep it light and airy!
6. Pour your beautiful batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it's done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Let it cool completely before cutting it into squares. Patience is key here!
9. To finish, dip each square in the luscious chocolate icing, and then roll them in the desiccated coconut. So delightful!
10. Serve these treats to your friends and family, and watch them disappear! Enjoy your delicious Lamington Cake!
