Cherry and coconut mini cakes
Cakes
Are Lamingtons the first thing that comes to you when seeing these cherry and coconut cakes? If so, you wouldn’t be the only one. <br />I made these mini cakes to bring to a gathering of friend’s last weekend and guess what the most common question I was asked was: Oh Lau, are they Lamingtons?. <br />No, they’re not. <br />I would never venture to call this recipe Lamingtons, but they are Paleo cherry and coconut cakes. <br />Nevertheless, Lamingtons inspired me to make these cherry and coconut cakes. To turn the sponge cake to Paleo I used the same recipe for my Catalan sweets for which I have a deep weakness. It’s made from just four ingredients which are, sweet potato, almond flour, maple syrup and an egg. They give a fabulous fluffy texture to the cakes, not to mention the beautiful orange contrast with the cherry and coconut. <br />When I discovered the Lamingtons, the idea of covering the mini cakes with two ingredients fascinated me but, instead of dipping the cakes in chocolate frosting, I dipped my mini cakes in a handmade smooth cherry jam.
