Lamingtons

Lamingtons are a type of Sponge cake[?] squares, coated in a layer of chocolate icing, or strawberry jam, then desiccated coconut.

The chocolate icing is a thin mixture, into which squares of sponge (One cookbook states 4cm per side) are dipped, and the chocoloate is aborbed into the sponge. The squares are then dipped into the coconut and left to dry. (Simiarlly, the strawberry jam is a mere flavouring and is absorbed into the sponge.)

They are often (but not necessarially always) served as two halves with a layer of cream between them, and are commonly found in New Zealand bakeries.
