Lamingtons

As a child I was convinced that kókuszkocka (coconut cubes) are Hungarian, because you could find it everywhere, such as school feasts, coffee shops and so on. Later they were completly forgetten for me. Since I am reading food blogs I found out that they are actually called Lamingtons and come from Australia named after Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington. Today I prepared them for the very first time, using my mom's recepie. I love them, but for sure have not eaten for about 10 years or more.
