  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1 cup chopped almonds

  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar

  • ⅓ cup evaporated milk

  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt; set these dry ingredients aside.

  2. Combine milk and instant coffee in saucepan, and heat at a medium low setting. Stir until coffee dissolves, and remove from the heat.

  4. Spread dough evenly in a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.

  5. To Make Frosting: Put 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in the evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in remaining 2 cups of confectioners' sugar. Continue beating until of desired consistency. If consistency is too thick, add a little more milk; if it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.

  6. Frost the bars with the icing.
