Aussie Lamingtons - Heaven

Haven't had these for over 20 years since Oz days.  Never made before.  Yummy.  Sponge 'laminated' in chocolate runny icing/sauce and dipped in coconut (that's not why they're called Lamingtons -see -   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamington   'Friday 21 July 2006 was designated as National Lamington Day in Australia' ) .    Since John doesn't like chocolate much I will experiment with my favourite 50% fruit jam made into a sauce instead of the chocolate - jamingtons?
