Vegan Lamingtons ★★★★★3 reviews
Sponge, raspberry jam and vegan buttercream wrapped in a delicious coating of chocolate and coconut.
Ingredients
Sponge:
- 70g / 2.4oz Nuttelex, melted
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Good pinch of salt
- 150ml / 5fl oz soy milk
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp self raising flour
Filling:
- Raspberry jam and vegan buttercream
Coating:
- 1/2 cup icing sugar
- 2 heaped Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
- Good pinch of salt
- 80ml / 2.7fl oz soy milk
- 2 Tbsp melted Nutellex (or other vegan margarine)
- 1/2 Tbsp hot water
- Desiccated coconut, for rolling
Method
- Preheat oven to 175C / 350F. Line a 9”x5” (~23x13cm) loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.
- In a bowl, combine melted Nuttelex, sugar, vanilla, salt and soy milk. Whisk to combine. Add in self-raising flour and whisk to form a smooth batter. Don’t overmix!
- Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Leave in tin for 5 minutes and then turn out and let sponge cool thoroughly.
- Once cooled, split the sponge into half evenly with a serrated knife. Spread Raspberry Jam on each cut side of the sponge.
- Once spread, repeat by spreading vegan buttercream (see notes) on top of the raspberry jam layer for both sponges.
- Finally, put sponge layers back together, with both iced sides meeting in the middle once again.
- Cut the sponge into 8 squares and set aside in the refrigerator for 15 minutes whilst making chocolate coating.
- To prepare chocolate coating, whisk all ingredients to combine.
- Dip each sponge square into icing and immediately roll in Desiccated Coconut. Repeat with remaining sponge squares and then store Lamingtons in an airtight box in the refrigerator.
Notes: I make a simple Vegan Buttercream by whipping Nuttelex, Vanilla Extract and Icing Sugar to taste till light and fluffy.

Easy and delicious recipe, the chocolate coating is delicious :) Made it simpler by leaving out the jam and buttercream in the middle and it worked great!
So yummy!
