Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Boiling water
• 2 cups Shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and eggs with an electric mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is thick and pale in color.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and blend well.

Step 5

Gently fold in the flour mixture in three parts, alternately with the almond milk, starting and ending with flour. Add the oil and fold gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once the cake is completely cooled, cut it into 16 even squares.

Step 10

To make the chocolate coating, sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into a medium mixing bowl.

Step 11

Gradually add the boiling water, stirring until smooth and slightly thickened. Adjust consistency if necessary by adding more water or powdered sugar.

Step 12

Place a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch any excess glaze and coconut.

Step 13

Dip each cake square into the chocolate glaze, allowing excess to drip off, and then roll it in shredded coconut, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 14

Set the coated lamingtons on the wire rack and let stand until the coating is set. Enjoy your dairy-free lamingtons!
