Ingredients
Serves :
2 cups desiccated coconut
400g unfilled sponge
3 cups icing sugar mixture
1/2 cup hot water
Red and blue food colouring
Directions
Sift the icing sugar into a large bowl and add the hot water. Stir icing until smooth (it should be quite thin).
Divide the coconut between 2 plastic bags. Add a few drops of food colouring to each bag. Twist top of bag and hold firmly then rub outside of bag to mix the colour through the coconut. Transfer to plates. Use an oval cutter to cut egg shapes from the cake.
Using 2 forks, dip a piece of cake into the icing. Let the excess icing drip off then place cake piece onto coconut. Roll to coat evenly then place on to a wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Store lamingtons in an airtight container.
