Having many Australian relatives, I know what "real" lamingtons taste like. My problem was that I needed to make 300 of them for a Girl Scout event. Not only was this an easy way to accomplish my feat, they tasted WONDERFUL! I used a mini muffin pan and cooked them for 10-12 minutes at 325. Finding the right coconut was a challenge but learned that organic coconut works very well.
