Me and Lamingtons 2: Double Berry Lamingtons

in food โ€ขย  7 years agoย 

Hi friends!

Continuing the celebration of Aussie Day, which happens to be my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ too, I treated myself with 300 Steem ๐Ÿ˜‚ Yep, I powered up. Saaaweeettt.

For these celebrations as well, yesterday I shared you a veganized (chocolate) Lamingtons recipe - I don't feel like preparing a big cake, but I'd love to make various of lamingtons, and since Aussie Day (plus birthday) is coming up, I will be sharing lamingtons recipes in coming days, starting yesterday ๐Ÿ˜.

Please read how surprising it was for me to find lamingtons in Hungary!

Today I am sharing another version of veganized lamingtons and this time it's Double-Berry Lamingtons

I wanted to make pinkish lamington without using food color and I couldn't find dried strawberry/ strawberry powder but dried goji, so it's double-berry in the end, and not pinkish, ah well.

They taste quite wonderful tho. I may or may not have stuffed my face with two lamingtons at once, forever fat vegan here ๐Ÿ˜

Delish! Love the idea of using gogi berries. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! What a great present you gave yourself. I look forward to an Aussie Day post. Have fun! :)

Thanks pretty lady!

My first time using goji as they are too expensive

Believe or not, after munching some, everything tastes off for me ๐Ÿ˜ I ate tomatoes and they tasted like meat in my opinion and eating the cake makes it as if I drank dairy milk. So odd. I asked my husband if he experiences the same, and he said, nope, just a tad bitter after taste ๐Ÿ˜€

Huh.... that's funny, how one food can change the way others taste. I like goji berries, but only in small doses. We're lucky, the bushes grow in our area so I can actually cultivate them instead of spending too much $ on them. lol! Have a wonderful day! :)

Salivating!

Check out the green tea and lemon I've posted recently, those were damn good.

The berry tasted nice but I think I am not too fond of goji berry!

I am definitely baking this next time. Thanks for the recipe.

Nothing wrong with being a fat vegan (as long as you're healthy right XD).

I only barely acknowledge the existence of lamingtons that aren't chocolate, my partner might like these berry ones though!

Hmmm even slim person can be defined as fat when following BMI chart, and fat is seen unhealthy

So slim and fat person, they are equally unhealthy ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I can't take BMI seriously, it doesn't consider muscle mass or bone density at all XD

The key is to let the cakes rest a bit after dipping. Flavor soaked in ๐Ÿ‘
