This is not my recipe, I got it from a Thermomix Australia poster on Facebook. It's just too good not to share. I give them 5/5 with the jam in the middle (I injeced mine using a 10ml syringe).
Here's Krishna's recipe-I made them to the recipe except I only had 3 eggs, but it didn't seem to matter.
Lamington Muffins
275g SR flour
300g 200 g caster sugar
100g coconut
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
250 g melted butter
4 eggs
185 mls milk
Blitz Flour, sugar, coconut & baking powder until mixed
Add butter, eggs, milk and whizz till smooth
Spoon into muffin trays in patty pans (makes approx 18)
175 degrees for 15 to 17 mins or until golden
Set aside for 5 minutes
Choc Glaze
100g icing sugar
2 tlbs dark cocoa
2 tlbs milk
2 tlbs how water
2 tlbs melted butter
Combine till smooth
Inject jam into muffins if you desire
Dip muffins into choc glaze and then dip into coconut (shredded coconut looks nice)
Allow to cool on wire rack

Rara 1 - Thanks Caroline for posting this recipe. I made these for mums morning tea and these went down a treat. Managed to keep a couple for the kids and they absolutely loved them. I used an ice-cream scoop and made 24.
Caroline J - I made these again but reduced the sugar to 200 g and they were still lovely .
dede - The kids had one each tonight and loved them. They are great to make as they are not half as messy as the traditional way. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
CP - reduced the sugar down to 200g as per CJ suggestion and they are very nice with the coconut in the cake. Made a slit and put about 1/2 tsp jam in (enough to close the slit down neatly). My DD made the icing and it turned out really runny - she swears she stuck to the recipe - but I found it too thin as it would just run off and you could see the cake. Anyone else experience this or do you think DD may have put more liquid in than she cares to admit?
VHJ - I found it was a runny consistency but assumed it was supposed to be like that (like for lamingtons ) so I dipped them in coconut which stuck beautifully. They disappeared of the rack almost as fast as I put them there. I have made a note on my recipe to double the quantity of glaze if I'm going to coat the whole little cake in coconut rather than just the top of the muffin.
CP - it was almost watery, so I think I will halve the water/milk and just add gradually until I get the consistency I want. But the testiment to how nice they were is there is only 3 left.
maddy - These were really lovely....I would call them cupcakes instead of muffins though. I loved the cake texture, very sponge like. I used shredded coconut and turbo'd couple of times with the flour. The apple corer worked a treat to insert jam centres. I did double the icing sugar, and added extra Tbspn Cocoa. I think next time I would prefer real chocolate ganache for the icing.
This made 28 regular sized cupcakes.....so you may possibly want to halve quantities. These really are such lovely, light & fluffy cupcakes. I'm surprised how long they keep for too.
KerrynN - We used 200g sugar and followed everything else as is. Really delicious and light and they rose really well for dipping. This will be our cupcake recipe for the future! We did make 18 muffin sized ones rather than cupcake sized though. Next we want to try as two square cakes to make traditional lamingtons. For the topping, we had some of the hazelnut choc spread left over from birthday celebration number one, so I warmed it up and added some extra milk and used this for half of them, with desiccated coconut. The other half I used left over strawberry frosting (have family members who don't like chocolate) from celebration number two. As per Maddy's suggestion I used an apple corer to get a hole in to add the jam, and this worked well for the most part. One "hole" fell on the floor and one fell out into the icing mixture when dipping the cake but we recovered from both these little mishaps. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Aussie Brenda - they are yummy, already eaten 4 . Made Maddy's ganache very nice.
JD - lovely, such a light cake recipe and anything maddy praises has to be good. I also made maddy's ganache - 1/2 quantity covered 16 full sized muffins for me as I don't like it too thick.
-
These sound rather nice CarolineJ.
-
They are amazing. I had to send them to DH's work so I wouldn't eat them all :o
-
How do they go with no cut edges caroline?
I know when I make Lamingtons, the uncut sides don't soak in like the cut ones. Or am I being pedantic? :D
-
It soaked in marvellously. I will have to load the patty pans more next time so I can just dip them in the chocolate- mine weren't high enough so I had to spoon the chocolate on top. It soaked in before I could smear it around! Tasted AMAZING though. Make them ;)
-
:D I'm going to have to after the rave review!
Coconut gives me reflux while I'm pregnant, but I'm willing to forgo it for a a lovely lamington :D
-
These sound delicious
Thanks for the recipe Caroline

Thank you :-*

Mmmmm! I have wanted to make these again, but I ate so many last time, I am scared to tempt myself :-X

I made these today ready for school and work. The kids had one each tonight and loved them. They are great to make as they are not half as messy as the traditional way. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I made these again today, but reduced the sugar to 200g, and they were still lovely :)

CP- get yourself a few 10-20ml syringes when you are at the chemist next. They are perfect for squirting jam in these lamingtons, and also for filling profiteroles :)
-
Even a syringe for giving babies medicine would be good.
-
yeah but I am not going into a Chemist and asking for syringes....
-
Look at this little beauty I found in DH's medical drawer. It's huge and I must try it for sucking up cream or jam next time I make scones or fill something. No chemist is going to suspect anything untoward if you asked for one of these CP ;D ;D
-
No I buy syringes all the time for the kids medications - it's when you ask for them with the needle you might get looked at sideway lol ;)
-
The catheter tip syringes like JD's are the best as the tip is wider and therefore easier to push the jam through. Not sure if they are readily available at the chemist but certainly worth asking- even if to give the pharmacist a giggle if they ask what you want it for.
-
I checked with DD and she said if you ask for the bigger syringe no one will think anything of it, but if you ask for a 'fit pack' you'll get a small syringe and a few other bits of paraphanalia. Actually she said they don't really think anything of it.
CP63 you could always put on a disguise and travel to the other side of the river. :D :D :D
-
yes the 'fit pack' always gets my attention if I happen to be in chemist and it is asked for - what a name for what it is!! ???
-
True. I love to watch in my chemist for all the people who are being treated with methadone. They always have to go to the end of the counter and wait and when they have an opportunity the pharmacist goes to them and gives it to them. Most are sort of what I expect but occasionally you see 'people types' you wouldn't expect. They become very friendly with the pharmacist as they see them pretty well every day. At least they are seeking help.
-
Kathryn - I believe that the "fit pack" is a syringe and associated paraphernalia, mainly for those who inject street drugs - designed to give them some sterile products. Uh Oh, I've just read your post again and it looks like you knew that anyway.
I often go into chemists to get various sized syringes for various jobs at work (I always think it's a bit of a giggle asking for a syringe as I am as "straight" as anything) - they are used to me now as I regularly ask for all sorts of unusual things - I'm well into my 50s and last week's request was for a baby bottle warmer (they are getting increasingly hard to find now, I believe microwaves are taking over!).

These really are such lovely, light & fluffy cupcakes :-*. I must remember to make the cake element again with other icings.
Naturally Australia Day was the perfect occasion

For the icing....dark chocolate ganache (make before the cupcakes)
200g dark chocolate
100ml thickened cream
In a microwave safe bowl, add broken chocolate pieces to the cream.
Heat for 1 minute on 50% power.
stir, and heat another minute at 50% power.
stir.
leave on bench to cool and thicken, stirring periodically.
This ganache is perfect for these cupcakes :)

Gorgeous Maddy. Happy Australia Day.

That is just a lovely idea, Maddy! If you don't want to bake professionally .... At least could you write a book!?!?!?! :)

Hi Dede, you haven't been on for awhile , how is your Mum going and how is the non smoking?.
-
Yeh I have been pretty quiet on here Aussie Brenda.
My mum is doing really well, she is just about to have her 4th chemo treatment next week, then off for a PET scan to see how things are progressing. She certainly has her good and bad days, but overall she really is doing well. :)
Oh and as for smoking.
