1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Grease 3 6-inch round cake pans or 2 8-inch cake pans. Set aside.
2
In a large bowl, whisk sugars, flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, oil, and tahini until smooth. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Whisk in boiling water and instant coffee.
4
Divide batter into prepared cake pans and bake 25-28 minutes (35-40 minutes for 8-inch cakes), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
5
Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on cooling racks.
6
To make the filling, beat buttery sticks (or real butter) on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add tahini and mix until combined. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until smooth and fluffy.
7
Reserve 1/3 of the frosting for the filling. Mix cocoa powder into the remaining frosting.

To assemble the cake, place one layer on a cake stand. Spread half of the filling and top with second layer. Repeat and top with final layer. Use the chocolate frosting to cover the cake.
