COCOA ICING:
375 grams sugar, about 2 cups
250 grams soft unsalted butter, about 9 ounces
3 large eggs
250 grams all purpose flour, about 1 3/4 cups
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
250 milliliters milk, at room temperature, about 1 1/8 cup
2 to 3 teaspoons almond or vanilla extract
Green food coloring
Powdered icing sugar, about 1 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder, about 3/4 cup
A few tablespoons water, boiled and brought back to lukewarm

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a bowl sift together the all purpose flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Set aside. In another bowl cream the unsalted butter and sugar well together. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well in between. Scrape down the sides when needed. Next add the flour mix in three parts and the milk in two. Mix well in between. Stir in the almond flavor. Then add drops of green food coloring. Be careful not to use too much food coloring as the color gets a little more dark while baking. Pour the green cake batter into the cake pan and smooth with a rubber spatula. To avoid the cake from getting too brown, place the cake on the lowest rack in the oven. Bake the cake for about 40-60 minutes and a cake tester comes out clean. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and let it cool completely before you spread on the cocoa icing. Cut the cake into squares and enjoy.
