Lulu's Low Carb Keto Chocolate Lamingtons
Lamingtons are a Kiwi & Aussie summertime classic.
And, It's not hard to see why - It really can't get better than fluffy vanilla sponge dipped in chocolate, coated in coconut and sandwiched together with a velvety cream filling!
Usually regarded as a sweet treat for special occasions, regular lamingtons are loaded with sugar and carbs and are (unfortunately) typically off limits for those following a keto lifestyle.
But, thanks to Justine's Keto Victoria Sponge Cake Mix, you can now enjoy delicious lamingtons, guilt-free, AND stay in ketosis (it's the best of both worlds). Bring these keto low carb chocolate lamingtons to any summer barbecue and they're sure to be a hit!
We adore this decadent chocolate flavour, but if pink lamingtons are more your style, then you absolutely need try our raspberry/strawberry low carb keto lamington recipe.

Low Carb Keto Chocolate Lamington Ingredients
- 1 Pouch Justine's Keto Victoria Sponge Cake Mix
- 50g keto-friendly granulated sweetener (such as Justine's Keto Erythritol)
- 25g cocoa powder
- 120g warm water
- Desiccated coconut for coating
Low Carb Keto Chocolate Lamington Method
Prepare the sponge cake mix as per packet instructions but bake in two 20cm square cake tins (rather than one large round tin).
Once cooled, cut each of the square caked into 12 pieces, so you'll have 24 in total.
Add your sweetener, cocoa and water to a saucepan and simmer over the stove for 5 minutes to help it combine. Allow to cool.
Dip each of the cake pieces into the warm chocolate mixture and promptly roll in the desiccated coconut. Allow to rest in the fridge.
Optional: Add a layer of whipped cream sandwiched between two of the cake squares to make a delicious lamington stack with a creamy filling!
