Eggless Triangular Lamingtons

There was a time during earlier days of blogging where I used to bake very regularly.All were trial recipes as I was still in my learning stage,to bake.I remember the excitement and the joy when I shared my baked goodies with friends,to hear good things about my baking,that motivated me to keep on baking.I believe those trials helped a great deal in my journey as without that I wouldn't have any idea about baking,hits or misses.

Now when someone asks me why the cake sunk or why it doesn't cook properly,I know exactly why because it has happened with me too!

Anyway,today's recipe,as usual is a super simple one chosen by my toddler.We watch a lot of cooking videos together,he loves watching Masterchef Australia with me :) and when we came across this video,he asked "amma can you make that"? Of course I had to,though I knew very well he would eat just a piece as he doesn't have a sweet tooth at all.Although I have to say,he loved this cake.

It is a basic eggless cake,baked in a sheet pan and then cut into triangular shapes,dipped first in a chocolate sauce and then in dessicated coconut.It does sound complicated but believe me,it isn't.Make it for a party and enjoy the ooh and aah's :)
