Happy Australia Day!
These Matcha Lamingtons are one of those recipes that have been in my brain for a long time. It so happens that Australia Day is on the 26th of January – therefore I was able to play around and make it happen right on time.

Fun fact! I’m Australian. You can’t tell by looking at me or with my accent, but I’m an Aussie. I moved to Sydney, Australia right after high school and attended University there. The campus I went to mainly focused on Animal Husbandry so there were lots of big open spaces with many sheep and snakes and magpies.
Why did I move there? Well, most of my mom’s side of the family decided to go to Australia instead of the US and now I have all these Filipino cousins who have the most insane Aussie accents that I am so jealous of.

When I first moved there one of my cousins came up to me and asked if I wanted to come to the backyard to have a look at his kangaroo.ย I got all excited and said yes!ย Then when I got outside his brother was waiting with a hose and I got wet and he called me an ignorant American for thinking they would have a kangaroo in the backyard.
I have seen one out in the wild and they are freaking big and muscular and scary.ย Kangaroos are not cute at all.

Anyway back to the Matcha Lamingtons.ย They are grain free, dairy free but flavorful!
