INGREDIENTS

2 & 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 tsp baking soda 3⁄4 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp kosher salt 2 tsp baking powder 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk 1 & 1⁄2 cups banana puree 1 tsp vanilla 1⁄2 cup coconut oil, melted 100 ml strong coffee

Glaze

2 tbsp raw tahini paste 2 tbsp powdered sugar 6-7 tbsp ice water

Optional

2 tbsp raw black tahini paste 2 tbsp powdered sugar 7-8 tbsp ice water 50 g raw blanched almond slivers

METHOD

• Preheat the oven to 355°F and spray a 22 cm round cake tin or any shape you want with coconut oil and dust with flour. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

• Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan.

• Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes at 355°F. Cool to room temperature.

• In a medium bowl, place the tahini paste and the powdered sugar.

• Stir until you get a hard paste, add 2 tablespoons of ice water and stir. The coating is slowly turning from yellowish to white.

• Stir another 2 tablespoons and mix until it reaches a texture like royal icing.

• Do the same with the black tahini.

• Spread over the cold cake and serve with raw blanched almond slivers on top of the cake.
