It would be simple, really ... make 2 white cakes and color them with food dye ... Then use a marbling technique ... Or do a white and a red and marble for the whole peppermint candy effect. Alas, I am definitely seeing more lamingtons in my future!

Inlander:
Oh no, you misunderstand: it's not a jam vs. cream debate, it's a filling vs. no filling debate. When you get a lamington in Australia it's an even bet whether it's going to have jam in the middle or nothing. Personally I prefer no filling: I have a suspicion that a lot of people put a layer of jam in the middle of their lamingtons in a desperate attempt to compensate for the fact that the sponge is too dry. Ideally you want a light, moist sponge with a deliciously moist chocolate coating.

*GASP* Alas! I blanked on trying them sans filling ... Dammit. Well, I suppose I should get the baking-sweets out of my system before I seriously start working off this baby-weight. More lamingtons tomorrow LOL .. This time ONE batch plain, no filling. I might like that even more than with the jam!

Jimmy the Squid:
Oh shit. Oh shit lamingtons. I have to have one as soon as I get paid. Shit.
