    Preheat oven to 180°C. Line base and two long sides of a 23 x 33 tin with baking paper.

    Add peanut butter,

  4. Step 4

    Transfer batter to prepared tin, smooth surface, and bake 18 - 20 min until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cool in tin for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

  6. Step 6

    Trim edges of cake and cut into 20 pieces. Combine chopped peanuts and coconut in a small bowl. Using a fork to support a piece of cake, dip base into bowl of glaze, then spoon the chocolate glaze over top and sides to coat evenly. Transfer to a rack or piece of baking paper, and sprinkle top with coconut mixture. Repeat with remaining cake pieces.

Tips

  • For a filled lamington, slice cooled cake into two layers through the centre, spread bottom layer with a thin coating of your favourite jam and drizzle with a bit of extra peanut butter. Replace top layer and continue from Step 6, to coat with chocolate glaze.
  • If chocolate glaze thickens as you’re coating the cakes, place the jug into a shallow bowl of hot water and stir for a minute or two until it warms up.
