The Country: Australia. Home of the Sydney Opera House, and koalas.
cake.

Cake Ingredients:
6 eggs
2/3 cups sugar
1/3 cup cornflour
1/2 cup plain flour
1/3 cup self raising flour
2 cups of coconut
Icing Ingredients
4 cups of sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1.5 tablespoons of butter
2/3 cup of milk
I really ought to get a double broiler.

Procedure:
Mix all of the cake ingredients into a bowl.
Preheat oven to 325°
Mix with an electronic mixer for ten minutes.
Pour into a pan and bake for 30 minutes.
While it is baking, melt the butter.
Put the rest of the icing ingredients into a bowl and mix. Add it to the pot you melted the butter in.
Take a larger pot, and boil 1.5 cups of water.
Hold the smaller pot inside the larger one and stir the mixture until it is smooth. Now, you have frosting!
Cut the cake into 16 squares, and cover it in the frosting. YUMMY.
THE FINAL PRODUCT (the one on the top center had some stick-to-the-pan issues)

Notes: There are about three feet of snow outside, and everything looks white- it's perfect cooking weather.  Maybe I'll whip up some hot chocolate and have a snow-day-tea-party with my Lamingtons.
