Coconut, walnut, oat cake with chai latte and dark chocolate gnash!





So this was one of those cake's that came to be through a need to use up some gnash! So I had chai latte gnash leftover from the macarons and some cream to use up also. So I had a picnic to attend the following day and I asked myself what can I make to put this gnash and cream on? So I ended up making up a dark chocolate gnash with some choc in the cupboard and then started the process of elimination. Brownies? no, date slice? no, any type of slice? no, biscuits? no, shortbread? no, chocolate cake? no, sponge cake? hmmm maybe..although plain old sponge cake is a little boring so I found a coconut sponge cake recipe, and chucked in some oats as well! The cake came out well. Chucked in a layer with a mixture of the gnashes and some chopped walnuts, made a pretty swirly pattern on the top with the two gnashes and that my friends is how you create happy picnickers! I was actually surprised at how well this cake tasted! A random mix of flavours but they all complemented one another! YAY
