Inspired by the orange lamingtons from Luke Mangan Food, this strawberry version is a total game-changer.

8 eggs, separated
2 egg yolks
190g caster sugar
80g plain flour
40g cornflour
40g butter, melted, cooled
5ml (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
100g desiccated coconut

Strawberry icing

30g unsalted butter
4 tablespoons strawberry jelly crystals
300g (2 cups) icing sugar, sifted

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 30 x 18cm lamington pan.
2.

Place 10 yolks and 90g sugar in a bowl and beat until pale. Transfer to a large bowl. Sift the flours together, then fold into the yolk mixture.
3.

Fold in butter. Beat eggwhites with remaining sugar and vanilla. Fold half the eggwhites into yolk mixture. Fold in remaining eggwhites. Spread into pan, bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with a tea towel.
4.

To make the icing, place butter and jelly crystals in a bowl, pour over 250ml boiling water and stir to dissolve butter. Sift in icing sugar, whisk until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Cut sponge into 12 squares, dip in the icing, then roll in coconut.
