Low fat….hmmmm….I’m sure Michelle Bridges wouldn’t agree, but it makes you feel better when you have a little nibble, doesn’t it?
The recipe is so old school that I couldn’t even find a link for it online, so here it is. (It was from an old issue of Super Food Ideas magazine).
1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees. Grease and line a 3cm deep, 26cm x 16cm (base) lamington pan.
2. Place oil, sugar and cocoa into a saucepan over low heat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until cocoa dissolves and mixture is warm. Transfer to a bowl. Allow to cool for 3 minutes.
3. Add egg and vanilla to oil mixture. Mix well. Add flour and coconut. Mix until well combined. Spread mixture over base of prepared lamington pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean.
4. Make icing – combine icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl. Add water. Stir until smooth. Spread icing over warm slice. Allow to cool completely. Cut into squares to serve.
So, are you game to try this one out? Do you truly believe it’s low-fat? and super easy?
