Che's Cashew & Coffee Cream Cake
Luscious treat for a round baking tray of Ø 26 cms.
Ingredients
| 270 g | flour |
| 1 envelope(s) | baking powder (14g) |
| 270 g | brown sugar, 200g is enough usually |
| 5 medium | eggs |
| 270 g | butter, sweet (or margerine) |
| 180 g | cashew nuts, toasted |
| 100 ml | espresso coffee, strong and cooled |
| 100 ml | coffee liqueur, e.g. Kahlua to taste |
| 350 g | double cream, whipped |
| 350 g | mascarpone, at room temperature |
Method
Preparation time: ca. 20 min / Grade of difficulty: medium / Calories per portion: n/a
Preheat oven to 180ºC normal / 160° circulating air.
Sift flour and baking powder, mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add eggs and butter, whisk well. Add cashew nuts (keeping a few for decoration) and 50ml espresso coffee, mix well.
Divide among two greased, lined 26cm cake tins; bake them for 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle coffee liqueur over each cake while hot. Whisk together the cream, mascarpone and remaining espresso coffee.
Spread one third of the coffee cream over one cake; top with the other. Spread the remaining coffee cream over the top of the cake and decorate with the remaining cashews.
You do not necessarily need to bake in 2 tins. Bake one, allow to cool, and divide horizontally in 2, using a crossed-over thread or wire.

Hi Che,
it was delicious, I only had to replace the cashew nuts by almonds (had run out).
