Me and Lamingtons 2: Double Berry Lamingtons

Hi friends!

Continuing the celebration of Aussie Day, which happens to be my birthday ? too, I treated myself with 300 Steem ? 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 ?.

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 ?
