First prepare the chocolate cake recipe as instructed on the blog post for that recipe, but bake all the batter into a greased and parchment lined 12" x 18" pan (a half sheet pan)

Next prepare the buttercream recipe of your choice *I used the American Recipe

Divide the buttercream recipe in half and then add ¾ cup of peanut butter powder (*or peanut butter) to half and a full packet of the blue spirulina food color to the other half.

Or use your favorite food coloring as you like

Make the coconut nests by combining 1 cup unsweetened flake coconut with ¾ cup melted semi sweet vegan chocolate mix well then press a heaping tablespoon into mini muffin tins lined with plastic wrap.

Once they are set they will pop right out of the molds and peel off the plastic

Combine the cocoa powder & vodka or vanilla extract together and whisk smooth for the speckling effect

Assemble the cakes as shown in the video
