Lamingtons are chocolate and coconut covered sponge buns. Popular in Australia they are a bit messy to make but well worth the effort! You can see how I bake them here

Dulce de leche


This is my first effort at baking the "Dulce de leche" Cake from Rachel Allen's "Cake"
book.

I baked it for my colleague Claire's birthday as I know she is a fan of caramel.

I was pretty pleased with the result and if you are looking for a recipe for a special occasion I
would recommend it! 


you can find Rachel Allen's recipe here and you can watch how I tackled the bake here
