Baked Goods Friday Chocolate Lamington

Ok, so the idea of Baked Goods Friday (BGF) is that 4 people bring something they have baked/made and feed the second floor.  The key with BGF is the B part - people should bring something they have made - doesn't need to be fancy - in fact things like sausage rolls and cheerios (cocktail franks for the aussies) are always more popular than anything sweet.  One of the tastiest/most popular things I can remember someone bringing along was corn chips, melting cheese on the top and serving with sour cream and salsa.  The thing is the instigator/organiser has gone on maternity leave, so there is no-one to remind people of "the rules" - Erin, we miss you.

Anyway I digress.  This (as I suspected it would be) is the worst lamington I have reviewed.

It was dry, on the outside and inside.  I think it was actually a kitchen sponge coloured brown and covered in coconut.  Ah well, things can only get better from here!

The Cooper and Milla Lamington is the lamington that started all of this blogging nonsense.

The first time I had this lamington I was blown away.  The balance of sponge, jam in the middle, the chocolate ganache and shaved coconut were great! I also shared this with someone (Toby) because it was so big.

This time I ate it all myself - not the best idea - I felt a bit sick.  However, the strawberry jam, sponge, chocolate ganache and shaved coconut combo still works.  The sponge was a bit dry - this could be because it was the end of the day.

Moral of the story, don't be a pig girl when you know you should share it, otherwise you won't enjoy it as much as you could.
