Before you start

Preheat the oven to 180°C | Food processor | 2 greased cake tins

First, make the cakes

  • Put the cake ingredients in a food processor & whizz them up in to a creamy paste
  • Pour the cake mixture into greased cake tins
  • Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes at 180℃ (356℉)

Next, make the icing

  • Whilst the cake is baking, put all the icing ingredients in a food processor & whizz them up into a cream
  • Take the cake out of the oven & let it chill to room temperature. Once it’s at room temperature, Put it in the fridge for half an hour (it needs to be cool when you ice it)

Then spread the icing, serve and enjoy!

  • Spread icing on the top of one of the cakes, put the other cake on top of it, spread the remaining icing over the top of the cake (It will be a good idea to put the cake in the fridge now to let the icing set a bit)
  • Take the cake out of the fridge & decorate with the walnuts
  • Serve immediately with a cup of coffee! BOSH
