    I'm not sure what I did wrong, I halved the chocolate like everyone suggested and ran out at 12.
    The ones I did get to make have had a big thumbs up, and they look delicious. Very easy to make as well.
    I will freeze the cake a touch longer I think next time too, the middle ones slightly fell apart on the chocolate step.

    Made these on the weekend - delicious. I halved the chocolate recipe as suggested, and it was the perfect amount. This was my second attempt at Lamingtons, first time was an epic fail (another recipe), so was stoked with this one.

    This recipe was my first ever attempt at lamingtons and it is a winner!

    i doubted myself on the first batch and overcooked the sponge - my fan-forced oven definitely only needs 20 mins with a 20cm square dish.

    every subsequent batch has been awesome!

    Thank you for a lovely recipe. I did small muffin size and then removed patty cases. I made them into jelly cakes with Raspberry Jelly (1 1/2 cups water only) and then the coconut. So light and fluffy. The recipe made a lovely dozen, and were all raved about.

    Made these. Doubles the cake recipe. Cut them into bite size pieces. 1 1/2 x the icing and had extra coconut so the kids could ice/make a mess. Really easy and taste good 😍

    Excellent. Thanks for advice everyone, I doubled cake bit and made mine smaller, still had enough icing for them.

    I also divided coconut (about 200 g), into 3 bowls and dyed one batch red, the other green, then mixed them together for Christmas lamo's for the neighbours. A HUGE hit.
    i tried uploading a photo, but, no luck.

    I made a giant lamington cake with this recipe for a friends 40th birthday.
    Easy mixture to double, cake is delish, icing is just like a "proper" lamington.
    Thanks for a great recipe!
