This is a lamington

This is a lamington.

As promised in the previous post on church finance (yes they do have a connection).
It is a chocolate and coconut covered square of sponge filled with fake cream and jam, if you are lucky.

There have been many church buildings that have been financed with Lamington Drives.

Lamington Drive = A bunch of middle to older aged church women with an interesting variety of aprons, in 1 room making lamingtons that are then sold by the 1/2 dozen to be frozen and then thawed through out the year when visitors come around.

This entry would not be complete with out the Lamington recipe:

Ingredients

1/2 cup of butter (margarine)
1 cup sugar
