Yield: 20 servings
Cuisine: Australian
Ingredients: 450 ml self-raising flour; 1 ml salt; 200 ml castor sugar; 2 extra large eggs; 175 ml milk; 125 ml butter; 5 ml vanilla essence; 100 g chocolate; 500 ml desiccated coconut

Lamington squares are a classic cake, here made with both vanilla and chocolate batter swirled together. This recipe starts by combining dry and wet ingredients, then splitting the batter to infuse half with vanilla and the other with chocolate. Once baked and cooled, these squares are traditionally coated in chocolate icing and desiccated coconut, making them a sweet treat. They're a simple, moist cake that comes together in under an hour.
