Lamington Lovers Smile

116

What makes these lamingtons so tasty but nutritionally nice.  I use a a good quality dark chocolate like Lindt (above 70% is low sugar) to ice them.  We use macadamia nut oil when we are making a sponge because it gives it a richer flavour but you can use coconut oil, ghee or butter.  We also use fresh strawberries because they are yum, full of Vitamin C, and super low in sugar.  These little beauties are light, gluten free, and low sugar!

Ingredients - Cake:

  • 6 eggs (organic if possible)
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Method - Cake:
