Ingredients
Lamingtons
- 125 gram softened butter
- 3/4 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cup sifted self-raising flour
- 1/2 cup milk
Icing
- 3 cup sifted icing sugar
- 2/3 cup warm milk
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3 cup crushed caramel popcorn
Filling
- 1/2 cup thickened cream
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
Method
Lamingtons
- 1Preheat oven to moderate, 180ºC. Lightly grease and line a 20cm square pan.
- 2In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat softened butter and caster sugar together until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well. Beat in vanilla extract. Lightly fold sifted self-raising flour into creamed mixture, alternately with milk.
- 3Spoon mixture into pan, smoothing top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until cooked when tested. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Trim edges and cut into 9 squares.
Icing
- 4In a large bowl, whisk sifted icing sugar, warm milk and smooth peanut butter until smooth.
- 5Spread crushed caramel popcorn over a shallow tray. Using a fork, dip each cake piece into icing, draining off excess (add a splash of milk if icing gets too thick). Roll in popcorn to coat. Place on a wire rack to set.
Filling
- 6Beat thickened cream to soft peaks. Whisk in smooth peanut butter. Split cakes and sandwich together with peanut butter cream.
Notes
- Make sure peanut butter is at room temperature.
