• 60g butter
• a pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tbsp. vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder

For the sugar syrup:

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.
   • Enjoy this delightful Eid special pistachio cake with your loved ones, and savor the rich flavors and moist texture with every bite!

Notes

• A helpful tip to enhance the flavor of your pistachio cake is to toast the pistachios before using them. Simply spread the pistachios in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until they become fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool completely before crushing them and adding them to your cake batter or using them as a garnish. Toasting the pistachios will intensify their nutty flavor, elevating the taste of your cake to the next leve

As you savor each bite of this indulgent pistachio cake, may it bring warmth and joy to your Eid celebration. From my kitchen to yours, I hope this recipe adds a touch of sweetness to your festivities. Happy baking, and Eid Mubarak!
