When it comes to reimagined recipes, the iconic Australian lamington has had more than its fair share (lamington soufflé, anyone?).

But things have taken a savoury turn for the humble chocolate-y treat, thanks to a new addition from Smith’s.
“We know Australians are increasingly keen to try new flavours, and interest is growing in sweet and savoury combinations,” Olivia Sutherland, Smith’s Marketing Director said.
“Our latest innovation combines a sweet, quintessentially Aussie cake with Australia’s favourite potato chip.
“It seemed the perfect way to celebrate the Australian summer.”
A team of flavourists tested a plethora of lamington recipes to pinpoint what makes the cake so delicious.
“It’s then a matter of breaking down the flavour experience and finding key elements that can be translated to a seasoning,” said Olivia.
“In our Lamington chip, you will find hints of flavours including chocolate, coconut, cream and butter!”
The limited-edition lamington flavour Smith’s potato chips will be available in Woolworths, Independents and selected petrol and convenience stores.
