Lamington

Eager to try more and more traditional kiwi favourites, I picked up some Lamingtons at the supermarket.  It is described on the package as "a New Zealand specialty consisting of a square of sponge cake coated in chocolate or raspberry flavour and coconut.  Frequently served with afternoon tea, it is supposedly named for Lord Lamington [governor of Queensland, Australia from 1896-1901]".  We dug into the sponge cake last night, and it was rich and light, and yummy!
