The answer is "lamington", but whether these chocolate-coated sponge cakes rolled in desiccated coconut were named after Lord Lamington or his wife will probably never be determined.
The lamington is believed to have been named after Charles Wallace Baillie or Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, who served as Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901.
