Strawberry Lamington Recipe
Lamingtons are a popular baked dessert you can find in Australia and New Zealand. They’re typically made with chocolate, but you can find ones with different flavours.
With these Strawberry Lamingtons, you have a buttery and moist sponge that is dipped in strawberry sauce and then covered in shredded coconut. They’re good as they are, but you can make them even better by filling them with some whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
The sponge requires the butter, eggs and milk to be at room temperature. I recommend leaving these ingredients on the counter for a few hours before baking so that they’ll be at room temperature by the time you’re ready to bake. Essence can sometimes be a little tricky to find, but I used the new Strawberries and Cream essence you can get at Woolworths. Coconut wise, you can use desiccated coconut or shredded coconut. Desiccated coconut tends to stick more easily to the sponge, but shredded coconut adds a nice crunchy texture to the lamingtons. I used a mix of shredded and desiccated coconut with these lamingtons.

You need either a stand mixer orelectric mixer(click on link) with this recipe. I used a Masterpro Lamington tin(click on link) (33x24cm/13×9.5inches) to make the lamingtons. You also need a few bowls, plates, forks, a whisk, and a cooling rack.
Creaming aerates the batter so that you can add volume to your baked goods. You need soft butter at room temperature to cream the butter and sugar well. It’s very important for your butter to not be cold, nor should it be microwaved to be softened. I start by beating just the butter by itself to further soften the butter before adding the sugar. Then you cream the butter and sugar at a medium high speed for around 2-3 minutes until the butter and sugar are light and fluffy.
You can buy strawberry essence from baking specialty shops or use the Strawberries and Cream essence by Queen that you can get from Woolworths. If you don’t have strawberry essence, you can use of 3tbsp strawberry jelly crystals instead. Although I prefer using essence, I made this using Aeroplane Strawberry Jelly crystals and they still tasted fine!

You should be careful not to saturate the sponge with the strawberry sauce. When you dip the sponge into the strawberry sauce, you need to be very quick and cover all sides with the strawberry sauce. I recommend using two forks to do this and then to hold the sponge in the air to allow the excess sauce to drip off before putting the coconut on.

Cream the butter and sugar at a medium-high speed until the colour is pale and the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition.

Gently fold in half of the flour and milk until combined. Then fold in the remaining flour and milk. Put the mixture into your prepared baking tin.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a skewer in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Once out of the oven, transfer to a wire rack after 10 minutes and let it cool. Cut into squares or rectangles when the sponge is cool (16pieces).
Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the milk and extract, then whisk until combined. Add a drop of red food colouring and whisk. Continue adding the food colouring until you get to the colour of your choice.

You need a large deep plate/bowl to put the shredded coconut into. You need your strawberry sauce and also a plate to place the prepared lamingtons onto.
Using a two forks, gently place the cut up lamington into the strawberry sauce. Quickly roll it around until all sides are covered in strawberry sauce, let the excess strawberry sauce drip off. Transfer it to the coconut plate. Using your hands or a spoon, cover the strawberry sponge with coconut. Set aside and repeat. Add more coconut when needed.
Sprinkle a little extra coconut on top of the prepared strawberry lamingtons. If you want to, fill the lamingtons with some cut strawberries and piped whipped cream. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

Lamingtons are one of those classic Australian baked treats that turn up at every event and picnic. No purists, these aren’t your traditional lamingtons but I promise they taste amazing and are worth your time.

Unlike my Classic Australian Lamingtons, these Rose Strawberry Lamingtons are not the traditional but I love lamingtons so much I had to recreate it in a new way. Rose and strawberry are perfect, and I mean PERRRFECT, flavour partners. Somehow the rose flavour intensifies the strawberry flavour and vice versa.
For those not in the know, a lamington is an absolute icon of Australian cuisine. It is a combination of soft, fluffy sponge cake squares, which are then coated in a glaze (traditionally chocolate) and fine desiccated coconut. You’ll find them at every good Aussie bakery, at picnics and, of course, on Australia Day. To call this a classic is such an understatement.
The quintessential chocolate flavour is definitely the best, in my opinion but you know me – I can’t help but change things up. I could eat this glorious sponge / glaze / coconut mixture every day of the week. Rose and strawberry came about as I wanted something super pretty and delicate and that’s exactly what I got. Just like my Pistachio Rose Panna Cotta Tart, rosewater essence just seems to make everything more elegant.
Cream Filled Raspberry Lamingtons
Lamingtons start with a big ol’ sponge cake made in a lamington tin approximately 22cmx33cm and 5cm deep. This would be equivalent to a 9×13 tin but with a 2 inch depth like this 9×13 deep baking pan. The reason for this is the sponge should ideally be cut into 5cm or 2” squares. Of course they can be made smaller and you can cut this recipe by a third to suit if you need. I haven’t tried it but I feel it would also work in an 8×8 inch baking tin like you would use for brownies. The amount in the recipe would work for 2x 8×8 baking tins.
The sponge is mixed up like a regular cake by beating together butter and sugar, then adding eggs, egg whites (for air), milk and vanilla. This fluffy mixture gets spread evenly into a prepared tin and then baked for around 35-40 minutes.
First cut the browned edges off the cake then cut it into 5cm x 5cm squares (if you’re like me you can use a ruler to measure it perfectly). Cut the browned edges of each of these mini cakes too but make sure to just shave off the edge – you don’t want to discard any of that gorgeous sponge.

Often the glaze for strawberry lamingtons is made using a strawberry jelly (jello) mix but I prefer to make things from scratch. You can absolutely opt for the jelly crystals if you prefer but truly you can’t beat the flavour from the real thing. You make a syrup of water, sugar and powdered gelatine and then puree it together with rosewater essence and fresh strawberries (frozen strawberries would also be fine).
Pour this mixture through a strainer then add it to some icing sugar and melted butter. It’s best to let this cool down in the fridge for about ½ an hour before proceeding otherwise you may just end up with soggy cake.
To assemble the cakes I like to use 2 forks to turn each over and over in the glaze to coat it. Let it drip for a few seconds then place it into the coconut and coat generously. Sit the lamingtons on a wire rack to set and they’re done.

MAKE AHEAD – Yes, these lamingtons will still be perfect the next day, however, they will keep well up to 5 days.
These pretty pink lamingtons are a fairly feminine looking dessert, so this would be wonderful served for a high tea or at a little girls birthday or baby shower. This Rose and Strawberry Lamington recipe would be very welcomed at any picnic too.
