Lamingtons

Likely named for a 19th-century governor of Queensland, the Lamington is now an Australian favorite. It's a cube of butter cake dipped in chocolate, then rolled in coconut flakes. Some versions are filled with cream or jam. From: Saveur MAKES 16

8 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
1 cup flour, plus more for pan
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
½ cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 oz. milk chocolate, chopped
½ cup heavy cream
8 oz. unsweeted shredded coconut

1. Heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour an 8x8" baking pan; set aside. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk sugar and egg whites until soft peaks form. Add butter, egg yolks, and vanilla; fold until combined. Add dry ingredients; fold until smooth. Pour into prepared baking pan; smooth top.
