Trivia: What fluffy dessert is considered the national cake of Australia?
Fairy bread
Cherry Ripe
Tim Tam
Lamington
The correct answer is Lamington
So why is this answer correct? : No Aussie holiday would be complete without a spongey, chocolatey slice of lamington, a dessert that has long been considered Australia’s national cake. Dipped in chocolate and covered in coconut, the dish was invented in Queensland — possibly by accident by one of governor Lord Lamington’s employees, from whom the dish gets its name. The cake even has its own holiday — National Lamington Day is held annually on July 21.
