Ever since I have been to Australia, I have never forgotten everything there. I don't know if the sun is too bright in Australia or the food in Australia is too delicious... I often recall that I still feel that the trip to Australia is full of sunshine.

When it comes to Australian cuisine, one must talk about desserts. Australians’ love for desserts is amazing, and the sweetness is really uncontrollable for me. Lamington cake is a very traditional cake in Australia. To be honest, when I saw it for the first time, I didn't like it at all. The small brick covered with chocolate and coconut paste always made me feel full of heat.

Until I heard that it was a waste of time to come to Australia without eating Lamington, so I had to try it. Only after this taste did I know that many people like to put cream or jam in the cake, so we have the Lamington flavor. There will be small differences.

Speaking of it, Lamington is also the crystallization of wisdom. As early as the early 20th century, there was no refrigerator to store food, and cakes could not be stored for a long time, and they would soon harden. After being dipped in chocolate liquid, not only did the taste become better, but it also prolonged the time for the cake to harden, killing two birds with one stone.

Tips:
Experience Sharing:
1. If the cake batter is not easy to scrape, you can warm it up slightly when preheating the oven, shake it flat, and then put it in;
2. Various flavors of jam can also be added to the cake during the decoration process.
