Gluten-Free Lamington Cupcakes
What's great about it
Introducing my latest creation... Gluten-Free Lamington Cupcakes! They're made from almonds, coconut and organic eggs then topped with a velvety smooth chocolate frosting made from Naked Chocolat that will truly satisfy the tastebuds. I have two more glorious lamington recipes in my latest cookbook Healthy Baking. This healthy twist on the traditional Australian Lamington won't disappoint!
