Rainbow Lamingtons Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Preheat the oven and prepare a square baking pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper.
• STEP 2.In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• STEP 3.Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
• STEP 4.Divide the batter into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, creating a rainbow of colors.
• STEP 5.Pour each colored batter into the prepared baking pan, creating layers. Use a skewer or toothpick to swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
• STEP 6.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.
• STEP 7.Once cooled, cut the cake into squares. Dip each square into a bowl of melted white chocolate, ensuring all sides are coated.
• STEP 8.Roll the coated squares in desiccated coconut, pressing gently to adhere the coconut to the chocolate.
• STEP 9.Place the Rainbow Lamingtons on a wire rack to set. Serve and enjoy!
