Method:
1. Preheat oven to 175°C and grease a square cake pan.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale, thick, and fluffy. Add vanilla extract.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, then fold gently into the egg mixture. Add melted butter and milk, mixing carefully until smooth.
4. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Cool completely, then cut into even cubes.
5. For the coating, melt chocolate, milk, and butter together until smooth and glossy.
6. Dip each cake cube into the chocolate mixture, allowing excess to drip off slightly.
7. Roll immediately in desiccated coconut until fully coated. Let set before serving.
When cut open, the lamington reveals a soft golden sponge beneath the glossy chocolate coating and snowy coconut layer. The inside looks fluffy, moist, and airy, while the outer layer adds rich chocolate flavor with delicate coconut texture. Each bite feels light, sweet, and irresistibly comforting with a classic homemade charm.
