Transfer the batter into the tin.
Bake for 20 minutes on 175ºC, until golden brown.

STEP 2/7

Cut the cake into six cubes.
Dip each cube into melted jelly until completely coated.
Then dip the cubes into coconut until completely coated.
Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes until set.
Slice each cube down the middle and set aside.

STEP 3/7

Grease a 25 cm springform tin, line the bottom with baking paper and sides with acetate.
Place the lamington sponges around the sides of the tin, keeping the line of jam vertical, in an alternating pattern between coconut, plain, coconut, plain.
Continue until the sides of the tin are covered.

STEP 4/7

Making the base
Add melted butter and crushed biscuits into a bowl and mix until combined.
Transfer the biscuit mixture into the springform tin to create a base and level with a spatula.
Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge until set.
