Step 1

. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 10×15 half sheet baking pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

Sift the all purpose flour into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

Add soy milk, vanilla extract, oil and vinegar and mix into a batter. Don’t overmix.

Step 4

Transfer to your prepared baking pan and smooth it out into the corners.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

While your sheet cake is baking prepare your mascarpone.

Step 7

Add the cashews, syrup, coconut oil, salt, vanilla and almond milk to the blender and blend. Transfer the mascarpone to a bowl and set aside.

Step 8

. Remove the cans of coconut cream from the fridge, being careful not to shake. Open them and scoop out only the hard cream that has risen to the top into the bowl of an electric mixer, leaving the water behind. Starting at slow speed, increase speed until your cream is whipped to medium peaks (see notes)*. Add in the powdered sugar and whip again.

Step 9

Fold the whipped coconut cream into the cashew mascarpone. Place into the fridge.

Step 10

By this time your sheet cake should be ready, let that cool on a wire cooling rack.

Step 11

. Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and heat, stirring all the while until boiling.

Step 12

Once boiling, allow to boil for 2 minutes (time it) and then remove from the heat. Dissolve the coffee granules in the kahlua before adding to the sugar syrup and mixing in. Allow to cool before using.

Step 13

. When the cake has cooled and the coffee syrup has cooled cut the sheet cake to fit the bottom layer of a square 9×9 dish and pour over half the coffee syrup.

Step 14

Add half the cashew mascarpone cream mix on top and smooth it down into a smooth layer.

Step 15

Cut the remaining half of the cake to fit the next layer (it’s okay if you don’t have one piece but rather have to cut the cake into a few pieces to fit) and pour over the remaining half of the coffee syrup.

Step 16

Add the remaining half of the cashew mascarpone cream mix and smooth it down.

Step 17

Sprinkle cocoa powder on top.

Step 18

Place into the fridge to set for 2-3 hours or overnight to let the flavors soak in. Cut into slices and enjoy.
