Lamington Cheesecake Slice Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8x12-inch pan.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Beat 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add the room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Wrap with plastic wrap and store overnight at room temperature to give the cake a chance to firm up before slicing.
• To make the icing: In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and cocoa. Add the melted butter and warm milk and mix well to create a fluid, but not too runny, icing.
• Cut the cake into 24 squares. Place parchment paper or waxed paper on a work surface, and set a wire rack on the paper. Pour the shredded coconut into a shallow bowl. Using a fork, dip each square into the icing, coating all sides, then roll it in the coconut. Place onto rack to dry. Continue until all lamingtons are coated.

Steps:

• Grease a 17cm x 27cm rectangular slice pan. Line base and sides with baking paper extending paper 2cm up sides of pan.
• Lay lamington fingers, side-by-side, so that they over base of prepared pan.
• To make filling, place chocolate and 1/2 cup of the cream in a heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stir until chocolate is melted. Remove bowl from heat. Sprinkle gelatine over cold water in a small heatproof jug. Stand jug in same pan of simmering water, stir until gelatine is dissolved. Remove and stir into warm chocolate.
• Beat mascrpone, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in small bowl with an electric mixer until soft and creamy. With motor operating, beat in chocolate mixture until combined. Beat remaining cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Fold cream into cheese mixture.
• Pour filling over lamington fingers. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight until set.
• To make topping, place chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a pan of simmering water, stir until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Lift slice from pan, pour over topping and spread to cover. Sprinkle with coconut. Refrigerate until set.
• Serve cut into squares.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter and line a 20 x 30cm rectangle tin.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a free-standing mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well. Beat through the flour, milk and salt until fully combined, then spoon into the tin. Bake in the oven for 25 mins or until golden and firm to the touch. Set aside to cool completely.
• Slice the sponge horizontally to create two halves. Trim the edges to make perfect corners. Cut the sponge into 18 squares. Lightly whip the cream with the icing sugar until it reaches soft peaks. Spread a little of the jam on half of the sponge squares then pipe or spread over a little of the cream. Sandwich each one with a second square of sponge then set aside in the fridge to chill.
• To make the icing, whisk together the melted butter and milk in a bowl. Sieve the cocoa powder and icing sugar together in a seperate bowl. Gradually add the cocoa and sugar to the butter and milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure there are no lumps. If it gets lumpy, whizz with a hand blender until smooth.
• Divide the coconut between three shallow bowls (this keeps it from getting coated in too much chocolate whilst you're dipping).
• Dip each lamington in the icing until completely covered. Roll in the coconut and set on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining sponges. Chill for a minimum of 1 hr.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in flour. Beat in lemon juice and egg substitute. Stir in yogurt. Pour into crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until filling is set. Allow to cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
