Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons instant espresso coffee powder, divided, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/2 cup horchata, divided
  • 2/3 cup canned sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
  3. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Gradually beat in sugar 1/4 cup at a time. Scrape bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, 2 minutes more.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each. Beat in 4 teaspoons espresso powder, the vanilla, and almond extract.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and 1 3/4 cups horchata, beating on low after each addition until just combined. Batter may appear curdled, it will be fine. Spread batter into prepared pan.
  6. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  7. Whisk together remaining 3/4 cup horchata, the sweetened condensed milk, and remaining 2 teaspoons espresso powder.
  8. Poke holes all over cake with a skewer or chopstick. Gradually pour horchata mixture evenly over the cake.
  9. Cool cake completely on a wire rack.
  10. Top cake with whipped topping. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
  11. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and espresso powder before serving.
