Home cooking attempt — Lamington from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Lamington from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting Vegemite right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The intensely savoury from Vegemite result was rewarding once I got it right.

Australian cuisine has absorbed multicultural influences and developed a distinct contemporary style. I served it with Coopers Pale Ale as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Lamington yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
