1½ cups (165 g) almond flour

2 tablespoons (30 mL) Basic Coconut Milk (p.365)
Instructions
1. For the cake, combine all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth
2. Pour the batter into a 9-by-12-inch sheet pan that has been greased (with ghee) and allow it to bake at 350°F (180°C or gas mark 4) in the oven
3. It should be done in approximately 30-45 minutes
4. While the cake is baking, combine all the ingredients for the frosting in a bowl with a hand-held blender
5. When done, the frosting should be smooth and spreadable, not watery
6. It shouldn’t slide off or soak into the cake base
7. If needed, add more cashews to get the right consistency
8. When the cake has cooled down, spread the frosting generously on top if you want a one-layer cake, or alternately you could cut the sheet cake in half and make a two-layer cake
9. In this case, you would add the frosting between the layers first, and then around and on top of the cake
