Combine the cocoa powder & hot water in a medium bowl. Combine the instant coffee powder & boiling water in a cup. Add the coffee to the cocoa mixture & stir until combined.
3. Add almond meal, sugar, & egg yolks to cocoa mixture, & stir until well combined.
4. Use an electric beater to whisk egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until soft peaks form. Use a metal spoon to fold a spoonful of egg whites into cocoa mixture until combined. Gently fold in remaining egg whites until just combined.
5. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Place cake pan in a roasting pan. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to reach two-thirds of the way up the side of the cake pan. Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven. Remove cake pan from water bath & set aside for 20 minutes to cool Turn cake onto a wire rack & remove paper. Set aside for another 20 minutes or until cooled to room temperature.

1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals & set aside. Beat the egg with milk & set aside.
2. Stir together the flour, onion & garlic powders & black pepper.
3. Dredge the tenders in the flour, then the egg wash, then the cereal mixture.
4. Either use a deep fryer to fry or pan fry the tenders on low until they are done. Be careful not to turn the temperature up too high or the cereal will start to caramelize.
Chef’s Note: If you like more sweet taste, or less sweet, adjust the cereals to get the right level. Don’t use olive oil for the frying; they don’t taste right.
