A Lamington is a popular Australian dessert made from squares of sponge cake that are dipped in chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut. The cake is often served plain or filled with jam or cream, adding extra flavor and texture. It is a beloved treat at parties, picnics, and cafes across Australia. The origins of the Lamington are debated, but it is commonly believed to have been named after Lord Lamington, a governor of Queensland in the early 1900s. This delightful dessert has become a symbol of Australian cuisine and is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee.
