Ingredients
1 cup almond milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 3 tbsp coconut oil, melted 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut, toasted 1/4 cup almond milk (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until well combined. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely. Cut the cooled sponge cake into 1 inch cubes. Melt the dairy free chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip each sponge cube into almond milk and then into the melted chocolate, coating all sides. Immediately roll the coated cubes in toasted shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere. Place on a wire rack to set. Serve and enjoy your Vegan Australian Lamington Delight!
