Lamingtons

Ingredients

Self-raising flour 2 cups

Sugar æ of a cup

Butter æ of a cup

Eggs 4

Vanilla essence 1 tsp

Milk

For the topping

Coconut  1 cup shredded

Icing sugar  2 cups

Cocoa powder  2 tbsp

Method

Cream the butter and sugar, then add eggs one at the time, followed by the vanilla.  Fold in the flour and some milk to make the mixture creamy but not too runny.  Bake on a non-stick tray in a moderate oven (180 deg.) for about 40-50 minutes.  Allow to cool, then cut into 10 cm squares.    Finish off by sprinkling the shredded coconut on top while the chocolate is still warm.   Mix the icing sugar with the cocoa powder and about 1 tbsp of water.  (Too much water will make the mixture too runny)  Dip the lamingtons in the chocolate mixture or simply use a spoon to cover.  Finally, sprinkle shredded coconut all over the Lamingtons
