    It might have surprised Lady Lamington, the wife of a Victorian governor in Queensland, Australia, to learn that her name would be immortalized Down Under as a petit four. She probably wouldnn n n n n n t have minded though, invented legend has it, in the govenorn n n n n n s kitchen as a way to use leftover cake, these squares of sponge cake, dipped in chocolate and then rolled in coconut are perennial best sellers at Australian bake sales and are the preferred accompaniment to afternoon tea.
