Ingredients
- 1 cup pistachio flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp pistachio extract optional
- 4 oz dark chocolate finely chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Slivered pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan to help the cake come out easily after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pistachio flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, olive oil, vanilla extract, and pistachio extract until well mixed.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix!
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare Ganache: While the cake cools, heat the heavy cream until it starts to steam. Pour it over the chopped dark chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, stir until smooth.
- Assemble: Once the cake is cooled, pour the chocolate ganache over the top. Let it dribble down the edges and garnish with slivered pistachios.
