Turban cake with cashew nuts: a creamy cake with brown sugar and a delicious cashew nut topping. You can rightly call this a coffee cake because this cake tastes great with it. And by baking it in a turban, it looks extra pretty.
This delicious cake looks beautiful because you bake it in a turban baking form. It's got a topping of caramelized cashews flavored with a hint of cinnamon.
The cake itself is creamy and got a deep flavor because of the brown sugar. A cake to bake for a special occasion.
