Ingredients
  • ¾ cup cashew powder
  • 1¼ cup All purpose Flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup or 1 stick unsalted butter melted(not browned) or 8 tablespoons
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 pinches salt
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup or more of powdered confectioners sugar
  • 2 tbsp raw cocoa powder(I used valrhona cocoa)
  • 1 tsp instant coffee powder or 2 tsp brewed coffee(which is best)
  • 2 tbsp water or so for mixing the cocoa and sugar
  • Dried unsweetened desiccated coconut
  • Any jam for filling.
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use mini cupcake liners and prepare the pan. If you want to make a sheet cake, like with parchment and set aside.
  2. Melt the butter and mix the sugar in it. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the purpose flour, cashew powder, baking powder and salt and mix very well to incorporate all the ingredients.
  4. Mix the milk, buttermilk with vanilla extract and baking soda and set aside for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the milk mixture alternative with the butter mixture in the flour. Use a rubber spatula to mix well.
  6. Use a small Ice cream scoop or a tablespoon and fill the muffin cups only ¾ and bake for about 15 minutes. Take it out and let cool completely on a cooling rack.
  7. Mix a tbsp of coffee with confectioners sugar and cocoa. Mix well. You need a semi liquid consistency. A thicker pancake consistency to be exact. Keep this in a shallow dish.
  8. Keep the desiccated coconut flakes in another shallow dish.
  9. Drench/roll the cake- muffins using a fork in the cocoa sugar mixture well. Let the extra drip off, Immediately take it out and coat in the coconut and set aside to harden. Leave it for 20 minutes or up to an hour before filling it with the jam.
  10. Serve immediately once the jam is filled. If you want to serve later, just make the muffins and drench and coat, fill with jam few hours before serving.
  11. ENJOY!!
Notes
You could bake this on a sheet tray and cut in squares which is the traditional way to do it.
You could bake any cake. Traditionally a sponge or butter cake is used. Anything which is a little bit dense, although this is not a very dense cake.
