I love coconut, but I love moist cakes and the lamingtons do not look moist enough for me. I discovered tres leches cakes about ten years ago. I have never made one, but I have bought squares of them in specialty stores. If I allowed myself to eat them I would weigh 600 pounds! A more moist coconut cake instead of a sponge cake made with coconut would be my ideal dessert. When I first saw those lamingtons (which I had never heard of, either), I thought they looked like heaven. Sponge cake doesn't do it for me, however.
I should post a recipe from my own family. I know i have done so before-but not in this thread. I have made variations on the simpler of my family's Slovak recipes. I never tried the more difficult ones alone, although I used to make them at my grandmother's side. (At this past Easter we just discussed how my brother and cousins and I used to make homemade noodles and pierogies, which we pronounce puh-daw-kee, with our grandmother). And how my mother was a disappointment to her father because she could never equal her mother at making pierogies!
The photo below is not one I took. I found it on the 'net. I wanted people to know what pierogies looked like, though. I prefer them soft with butter, not hard and fried. They can be lightly fried, however, after boiling. My favorites are potato pierogies. the combination of potato and noodle with butter is a knockout!
