Welcome to Hot Thai Kitchen, today making mocha toffee cake with a coffee toffee cashew crust.

Dissolve Nescafe instant coffee in a little water in a pot over medium-low heat.

Add chopped semi-sweet chocolate to the pot and mix with vegetable oil and unsalted butter, cooking until smooth.

Set the chocolate mixture aside to cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar, whisking together.

In another bowl, whisk together two eggs, vanilla extract, and full fat yogurt until smooth.

Combine the cooled chocolate mixture with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Switch to a whisk and mix in the egg mixture until smooth and thick.

Prepare a quarter sheet pan (12 by 8.5 inches) by lining the bottom with parchment and greasing the sides with oil.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with an offset spatula.

Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, then let it rest and cool slightly.

While the cake cools, prepare the topping by chopping roasted unsalted cashews.

In a pot, combine evaporated milk, instant coffee, and butter, heating until dissolved.

In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt to prevent clumping, then add to the pot while whisking.

Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the chopped cashews and remove from heat.

Pour the hot topping over the warm cake, spreading it evenly.

Broil the cake to caramelize the topping, watching closely to prevent burning.

Let the cake cool completely before cutting to allow the topping to set.
