Eggless Lamingtons~~ Baking Eggless Challenge

A lamington is a sponge cake of Australia,this cube shaped sponge cake are coated traditionally with chocolate icing and then with dessicated coconut. These lamingtons are in my to do list since a long, thank god Gayathri choosed these famous Australian lamingtons for this month's baking eggless challenge. Finally i made these super addictive cute lamingtons at home, thanks Gayathri for this lovely choice.

As this challenge goes for baking eggless, i went for a eggless condensed milk sponge vanilla cake and this eggless sponge cake turned out extremely spongy and truly soft. Later i quickly prepared a dark chocolate icing  for the coating and rolled them over dessicated coconut twice for the final touch.My lil one just enjoyed having this addictive lamingtons and for my surprise they vanished very much quickly obviously i went for making second batch of these lamingtons again.

Make a chocolate icing by melting together the chocolate chips,butter,milk and sugar in a microwave safe bowl for 3-4minutes, mix it well.

Now add the unsweetened cocoa powder to the icing and mix well again.

Spread generously the chocolate icing over one layer of the eggless sponge cake and then top with another layer of the cake.

With your fingers dip the lamingtons in the chocolate icing and roll them immediately to the dessicated coconut until the lamingtons gets well coated on all sides, roll again the lamingtons to the dessicated coconut twice for a beautiful coating.

Let them sit on a wire cooling rack until the chocolate icing gets firms.
