Chocolate Lamington Cake for the 2nd Anniversary of the Sweet World / Bolo Lamington de Chocolate para o 2º Aniversário do nosso Sweet World.

Here we are!!

2nd Anniversary of our Sweet World and I can't believe how time just flies by without notice.

I still remember the conversations Susana and myself had, on how to set up the challenge and the monthly rules, themes, etc.

Challenges and dates have been agreed and sometimes themes have been changed to feature seasonality or festivities but, most importantly than anything else, we have always agreed and had fun deciding the challenges, researching and setting them up!

Susana has always been a great partner for this monthly challenge and I couldn't wish for anyone better and more qualified than her to do it with me!

Over the last 23 months, we "went" to different countries and we made and asked you to make, iconic desserts, cakes or sweets from that same Country.
