Apparently, they originated in Brisbane, Queensland (my hometown!), in the late 19th (or early 20th) century. They were named after Lord Lamington.<\/p>\r\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slq.qld.gov.au\/blog\/who-invented-lamington-answers-may-surprise-you\">State Library of Queensland<\/a> discusses the theories behind who, and where, lamingtons were created. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ogh.qut.edu.au\/history\/house-bites\/house-bites2\/battle-of-the-lamington\">Queensland University of Technology<\/a> says that lamingtons were created in the kitchen at Government House (the Governor\u2019s Residence) while Charles Wallace Alexander Napier Cochrane-Baillie (the <a href=\"https:\/\/adb.anu.edu.au\/biography\/lamington-second-baron-7018\">Second Baron Lamington<\/a>) served as the second Governor of Queensland (from 9 April 1896 to 19 December 1901).<\/p>\r\n<p>The first lamington recipe, <a href=\"https:\/\/trove.nla.gov.au\/newspaper\/article\/101452826\">as it\u2019s been preserved by the National Library of Australia<\/a>, appears to have been published in <em>Queensland Country Life<\/em> on 17 December 1900.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\r\n<p>These are not your average cakes. Please try them! Thank you for joining me on another culinary adventure.<\/p>\r\n<p>I hope you enjoy the secrets of lamingtons as much as I have enjoyed sharing them with you. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the oven, and let your creativity lead the way.<\/p>\r\n<p>Until next time, enjoy!<\/p>\r\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamingtons are an iconic Aussie treat.
