Expert Tips for the Best Raspberry Lamingtons

The most critical technique in this recipe is to not overmix the batter, as it can result in dense and tough lamingtons.
A common mistake people make is to overbake the lamingtons, which can make them dry and crumbly – so keep an eye on them and take them out when they’re still slightly tender.
To take these lamingtons to the next level, try adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top or a drizzle of chocolate glaze.
The doneness cue for these lamingtons is when they’re lightly golden brown and still slightly tender in the center.
You can make these lamingtons ahead of time and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Variations and Substitutions

To make these lamingtons gluten-free, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or coconut flour.

You can also swap the raspberries with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor twist.
