What country did lamington cakes come from?
Lamingtons were invented in Queensland, Australia in 1900. There name comes Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron of Lamington, who was Governor of Queensland at the time. It is believed by some that one of his maids dropped a piece of cake into chocolate, and that the governor suggested the coconut so as not to dirty their fingers. This is just one of a number of stories as to how the first lamington came about. During the 1900's, left over cake would be made into lamingtons to hide the fact it was staling.
