Steps Pistachio Cake Recipe:

1. Preparation:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
   • Grease a cake tin with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar. Beat them together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, let it cool slightly.
   • Add the melted butter, a pinch of salt, milk, and vanilla essence to the egg mixture. Mix well until everything is combined.
   • Sift in the flour and baking powder into the bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no lumps remain.
3. Bake the Cake:
   • Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin, spreading it out evenly.
   • Place the cake tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes.
4. Prepare the Sugar Syrup:
   • In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar completely dissolves.
   • Remove the sugar syrup from the heat and set it aside to cool.
5. Assemble the Cake:
   • After the cake has cooled slightly, use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the surface of the cake.
   • Drizzle the cooled sugar syrup evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and infuse the cake with moisture.
6. Make the Pistachio Cream:
   • In a separate mixing bowl, pour in the whipping cream.
   • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
   • Add the pistachio cream, green color (if using), and caster sugar to the whipped cream.
   • Continue to whip until stiff peaks form and the pistachio cream is fully incorporated into the whipped cream.
7. Decorate the Cake:
   • Once the cake has cooled completely, carefully spread the pistachio cream over the top of the cake, covering it evenly.
   • Sprinkle crushed pistachios and dry rose petals over the pistachio cream to garnish and add extra flavor and visual appeal.
8. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Slice the pistachio cake into portions and serve it on a platter or individual plates.
