Lord Lamington, Governor of Queensland, Australia from 1896 to 1901 receives credit for creating the lamington....kind of by accident. His story goes that he was having his favorite yellow sponge cake served for his guests when the maid-servant accidentally dropped the cake into melted chocolate. He recommended the kitchen staff roll the squares in coconut shavings to make them less messy for guests to eat with their tea. It has become Australia’s most famous culinary icon. Today, many Aussies and New Zealanders enjoy this iconic delicacy with strawberry jam or lemone curd in the center and a dollop of whipped cream on top.
