This is a delicious cake that is popular all over Australia and even the world. Legend has it that in the past years, Australians often made big cakes to satisfy large families with large populations, but there was no refrigerator to keep them fresh at that time, and the mainland of Australia was warm and even hot all year round, so the rest would soon be stale. Someone came up with a way to cut the cake into small pieces, spread it with cocoa milk or chocolate, and then dip it into the coconut paste. In this way, The Lamington cake was born. From this point of view, this small cake that was popular all over the world was originally used to hide the ugliness. There is another interesting story about the origin of its name. Back in time to 1895, Mr. Baron Lamington was the governor of Queensland. At a reception, he accidentally knocked a large piece of butter cake into the chocolate syrup. It’s too wasteful to throw away, so you still have to cut it and eat it, but in order to avoid the chocolate syrup from filling the hands of diners, he suggested to dip a layer of coconut on the cake. Unexpectedly, this unexpected delicacy is very popular and popular all over Australia. Hence the name Lamington.
