Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C)
9″x13″rectangle cake pan, prepared with parchment paper or cake release
Ingredients:
375 grams sugar (2 cups)
250 grams soft unsalted butter (9 oz)
3 large eggs
250 grams all purpose flour (1 3/4 cup)
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
250 ml milk (room temperature) (1 1/8 cup)
2-3 teaspoons almond extract (Vanilla can be used instead)
Green food colouring
Cocoa icing:
Powdered icing sugar (I never really use any measurements for this. I just add 1 cup or more)
unsweetened cocoa powder (Use a little less than the amount of powdered icing sugar)
A few tbsp of boiled lukewarm water
I don’t really use any specific recipe for the icing. I just take 2-3 cups of powdered sugar. About 1/2 cup of cocoa powder and whisk it well together. Then I add 1-2 tablespoons of cooled boiled water and mix it in. Add more water if its to thick and more powdered sugar if its too thin. It should have a thick pouring consistency, that is easy to spread on with a spatula.
Step 1:
In a bowl sift together the all purpose flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Step 2:
In another bowl cream the unsalted butter and sugar well together.
Step 3:
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between. Scrape down the sides when needed.
Step 4:
Next add the flour mix in three parts and the milk in two. Mix well in between.
Step 5:
Stir in the almond flavour. Then add drops of green food colouring. Be careful not to use too much food colouring as the colour gets a little more dark while baking.
Step 6:
Pour the green cake batter into the cake pan and smooth with a rubber spatula. To avoid the cake from getting too brown, place the cake on the lowest rack in the oven. Bake the cake for about 40-60 minutes and a cake tester comes out clean.
Step 7:
Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before you spread on the cocoa icing. Cut the cake into squares and enjoy.
