Pink Lamingtons Recipes

PINK LAMINGTONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 4cm-deep, 23cm x 28cm lamington pan (1.5" x 9" x 11") with butter and baking paper, allowing the paper to overhang edges of the pan slightly.
• Sift flours together into a large bowl three times.
• Beat eggs and caster sugar in a mixer on a high speed for 5 minutes until mixture is thick and pale, then scrape into a separate bowl.
• Sift flour over egg mixture and gently fold until just combined.
• Spread mixture into a lamington pan and bake for 28-30 minutes until pale golden and sponge springs back when touched in the center.
• Cool in the pan, then cover with a tea towel and set aside overnight.
• NEXT DAY:
• Turn out sponge, trim edges and cut into 24 squares.
• Spread coconut over the base of a baking tray.
• MAKE ICING:.
• Crush raspberries in a bowl with a fork, stir in 2 tablespoons of boiling water, then allow to cool for 5 minutes.
• Sieve raspberry mixture into a clean bowl, discarding solids.
• Sift icing sugar into a bowl.
• Combine 1/3 cup of raspberry liquid and 1 cup of boiling water, stir into icing sugar and whisk until smooth.
• Whisk in enough food coloring to reach desired color.
• Dip one sponge at a time into icing, turning quickly to coat and allow excess to drip back into bowl.
• Roll in coconut and place on a wire rack to set.
