Lamington

cake sponge coconut chocolate Australia

An Australian created cake for all occasions. A square sponge, usually stale coated in chocolate and sprinkled with coconut.
Rumour has it a man dropped his spongecake into the gravy by accident, and threw it over his shoulder, where it landed in a bowl of coconut, or peanut butter. A servent who saw this when he/she was cleaning after the meal, decided to substitute the gravy with Chocolate and it became a well known loved snack for generations to come.

I ate a lamington after dinner.

My lamington has too much coconut and not enough chocolate.

Why is this lamington so dry?
