Australia Day Afternoon Tea

   Well we are into another year,  with Australia Day just around the corner. So I thought a great treat for Afternoon Tea on Australia Day would be some Lamington's.

                            Picture  compliments  Taste.com.au               

                                        Lamington

   Ingredients :

              1 Basic Butter cake made in a Lamington Tin.   The cake is best if 1-2 days old.
              2 cups Coconut

     Icing:   
           
             1 tblsp. Butter,  2 cups Icing Sugar, 1/3 cup Cocoa, 1/4 cup Milk, 1/4 cup Boiling water

     Method:

             Trim edges of cake.  Cut into same sized squares as desired.  In a small bowl mix butter until smooth,
        then add icing sugar and cocoa mix.  Add milk and then the boiling water, mix until smooth.
           Using 2 forks,  dip each cake square into  the warm icing,  let excess drip off then roll the square into
      the coconut, until covered. Let stand on a wire rack until set.
