Coles/Woolies Mudcake Hack fans are now making FAIRY BREAD LAMINGTONS out of the $5 cake

Best thing you’ll see all day! - by Nikki Black
  • 16 Jan 2019

With Australia Day just around the corner, everyone will know doubt be whipping up a batch or two of lamingtons in the coming week. 

Well one clever home cook at the Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks Facebook group has come up with an amazing hack for making the Aussie baking favourite a WHOLE lot easier.

Coles/Woolies Mudcake Hack fans are now making FAIRY BREAD LAMINGTONS out of the $5 cake

Follower Suzanne shared her creation for homemade lamingtons to the group, revealing she used the Coles $5 Double Sponge Cake as a base - which is a hell of a lot easier than making your own!

And in another ingenious twist, Suzanne used 100s and 1000s to finish off the cakes instead of coconut - creating Fairy Bread Lamingtons. We love it!

Suzanne writes: ‘Whipped up a batch of fairy bread lamingtons tonight using the Coles double sponge cake, sprinkles & icing sugar mixed with butter, hot water & vanilla essence... 

‘Hope they taste as good as they look!!!’

As for her recipe for the icing, Suzanne said she used ‘3 cups icing sugar, 50g butter (room temp), 1 teaspoon vanilla essence & half a cup of boiling water.’ She adds: ‘Mix together until smooth, then dunk the cake in and roll in sprinkles.’

Simple as that! A word of warning, though - Suzanne recommends that you don’t layer the sprinkles on too thick, saying: ‘Just a thin layer is all you need.’

Said a third: ‘OMGGGGGG YUMMMMM!’

We totally agree! For more yummy ideas, make sure you’re following Woolies/Coles Mudcake Hacks on Facebook!
