Lamingtons

Lamintons are still enjoyable and not hard to make an "old Aussie Favorite" when my son Jeremy was a child I made heaps of these and sometimes put Jam in the middle

3 Egg
1/4 cupCornflour
1/2cupCastor (granulated) sugar
1 tspButter
3/4 cupS.r. flour
3tbl Hot water
Chocolate Icing
500gmIcing sugar
1/2cupMilk
1/3cupCocoa
2tspButter
Coconut for coating

Beat eggs until light, gradually add sugar, continue beating until mixture is thick and sugar completely dissolved
Sift dry ingredients several times, melt butter in hot water
Sift the dry ingredients into egg mixture fold in then gently fold in hot water and butter mix well
Pour into well greased lamington tin.Bake in oven about 30 mins
Cook the cake the day before cutting and icing
Hold each piece of cake on a fork
Dip each piece in icing, then toss in coconut and allow to stand on a wire rack until icing sets.

Chocolate Icing
Sift icing sugar and cocoa into top of double saucepan add softened butter and milk mix thoroughly stir constantly over hot water until icing is of good coating consistency
Keep icing hot over hot water while dipping lamingtons. If icing becomes too thick, add a little extra warm milk or water.
