I never thought I would learn so much about cake balls.
Australia's national cake-like object is the Lamington, which would make you weep inconsolably. Here's the "recipe" so you can mourn my country's cakely ineptitude.
1. Cut a big square/rectangular pan of plain sponge cake into biggish cubes of plain sponge cake. Use the most commercial, longest-keeping, tasteless sponge cake you can find. Then let it lie around a bit to dry out.
2. Frost it with a vaguely cocoa-tasting spread. Make sure it's gritty and dry.
3. Roll the cubes in old, dry, tasteless coconut.
4. Serve at every fête, fundraiser and festival. Rave about it to everyone. Invent "gourmet" versions for food magazines. Laud it as Australia's great culinary tradition.
