ROYAL CHOCOLATE LAMINGTON CAKE
This cake has a flavour of royal cream and lamingtons. It’s decadent and delicious. My own awesome combination of flavours.
200 g butter
1 cup of sugar
6 egg whites only
2 teaspoons of almond essence
2 cups of cake flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add almond essence and cream some more. Next mix egg whites with milk and add to the mixture alternatively with sifted flour, baking powder and salt mixture. Grease to cake pans and drop mixture in. Bake at 180 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Once the cake is baked make a syrup with:-
1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
3/4 cups of water
1 tablespoon of butter
2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder
Dip the cake in syrup and roll in coconut on each side. Layer with fresh cream beaten with a tablespoon of sugar.
