About Lamingtons
Lamingtons are a classic Australian dessert made from squares of sponge cake, coated in a layer of chocolate icing and rolled in desiccated coconut. Sometimes, they are split and filled with cream or jam for added indulgence. Believed to have originated in the early 20th century and named after Lord Lamington, a former governor of Queensland, these treats are a staple of Australian cuisine. Nutritionally, Lamingtons are high in carbohydrates and sugar due to the sponge cake and icing, which makes them an energy-dense food. They offer minimal protein and fiber and can be high in saturated fats, especially if cream is added. While Lamingtons are best enjoyed as an occasional treat, their simplicity can allow for healthier variations, substituting whole-grain flours or reducing sugar content. However, traditional Lamingtons remain a beloved indulgence for celebrations and afternoon tea.
