Lolly cake

Lolly Cake is a popular dessert originating from New Zealand. It is a no-bake cake that is traditionally made with malt biscuits, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and fruit puffs or "lollies". The cake is often rolled in coconut and refrigerated until set, then sliced into rounds for serving.

Ingredients

The primary ingredients of Lolly Cake include:

• Malt biscuits: These are crushed to form the base of the cake.
• Sweetened condensed milk: This is used to bind the ingredients together.
• Butter: This is melted and mixed with the crushed biscuits and condensed milk.
• Fruit Puffs or Lollies: These are soft, fruit-flavored confections that are chopped and mixed into the cake. In New Zealand, Eskimo lollies are traditionally used.
• Coconut: This is used to coat the outside of the cake.

Preparation

The preparation of Lolly Cake involves crushing the malt biscuits and mixing them with melted butter and sweetened condensed milk to form a dough. The lollies are then chopped and mixed into the dough. The mixture is shaped into a log, rolled in coconut, and refrigerated until set. Once set, the cake is sliced into rounds for serving.

Popularity

Lolly Cake is a popular treat in New Zealand and is often found in bakeries and cafes. It is also a common choice for school and church fundraisers, and is frequently made at home for special occasions.

Variations

While the traditional Lolly Cake recipe uses malt biscuits and fruit puffs, variations of the recipe may use different types of biscuits and lollies. Some versions also include additional ingredients such as chocolate chips or nuts.
