Lamington Cake ..

Pre heat the oven at 140 degree C. Grease and dust a 11" x 7 1/2 " rectangle cake tin . Sift flour, baking powder and salt thrice . Separate egg whites and yolk. Powder the granulated sugar .

Beat the egg whites until stiff by adding 1/4 of powdered sugar .

In another bowl,beat the egg yolks for a minute and add rest of the powdered sugar and water . Add vanilla essence .

Continue beating until it is almost stiff and light yellow in colour.

Gently fold in flour .Do not stir the batter.

Now gently fold in beaten egg whites . Add desiccated coconut .

Transfer it in to the prepared baking tin and bake for 14 -15 minutes or until done .

Let the cake cool well . Cover it with cling film and refrigerate for half an hour .

Cut it into 2cm x2cm pieces .Keep it aside .

Now prepare the jelly as per instructions. I used strawberry jelly for the pink colour and orange jelly for the orange colour. Let the jelly cool for 5 -6 minutes.

I made orange jelly first . Do not refrigerate the jelly .Dip the cake pieces in the prepared jelly and quickly roll it in desiccated coconut.

Now prepare the strawberry jelly and follow the similar procedure.

Refrigerate it for atleast 2hrs ..
