Lamingtons is a traditional aussie dessert consisting of two layers of butter cake filled with jam and glazed with chocolate icing and coconut. Since I have more homemade marmalades than I know what to do with, putting a citrus spin is a logical choice. My Lamingtons are made with an orange-scented buttermilk cake with blood orange marmalade filling. Each little cube is enrobed in Grand Marnier chocolate icing and shredded coconut. <br /> <br />Don’t be fooled into thinking these are bite-size treats. I rather like to think they are personal-size dessert. They are so incredibly pretty sitting in printed cupcake liners. Since the glaze acts as a barrier to prevent the cake from drying out, the Lamingtons stay fresh for up to three days. I like to package them individually in cellophane bag tied with matching satin ribbon for adorable Valentine’s Day treat or party favours. <br /> <br />I recommend that you make the buttermilk cake a day before you're ready to assemble the Lamingtons.
