Categories     Baking     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
100 grams pistachio pudding powder (approximately one 4-serving box, don't use low fat or low sugar variety)
4 eggs
green gel food colouring
1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
butter and flour for greasing the cake pan
8 oz (220 grams) full fat cream cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3-4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons half and half
chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking pan by greasing it with butter and coating the inside of the pan evenly with a thin dusting of flour. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
  • Add the pudding powder and whip on high speed until incorporated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add a tiny amount of green gel food colouring after the eggs, if desired.
  • Combine the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl or pyrex measuring cup and whisk with a fork to combine.
  • Add the milk mixture to the butter mixture slowly, mixing well until combined.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, and mix on low speed just until the batter forms and no streaks of flour appear.
  • Finish mixing by hand with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well combined (mixing with the electric mixer at this stage can cause over-mixing, so it's best to finish it gently by hand).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60 minutes (sometimes it requires 65 or even 70 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the frosting.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and whip on high speed until smooth.
  • Add the half and half one spoonful at a time until a spreadable consistency is reached.
  • Spread the frosting over the completely cooled cake and top with chopped pistachios, if desired.
  • Slice and serve.

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup pistachios, pulsed into fine crumbs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg and 1 egg white
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
6 Tablespoons sour cream or geek yogurt
6 Tablespoons milk
6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons honey
4 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour three 6-inch cake pans. Set aside.
  • In a food processor pulse the pistachios until they are broken down into fine pieces. It's okay if it's not completely powdery, but the pieces should be very small.
  • Combine the pistachios, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, combine the butter and oil and beaut until homogenous. Add the granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy and pale in color. Add the egg and egg white, vanilla extract and almond extract and beat on medium high until light and fluffy and pale in color.
  • Add the sour cream and milk and mix to incorporate slightly. Don't over mix.
  • Last, fold the dry ingredients into the wet until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown and a knife inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean. Allow to cool completely.
  • While the cakes are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the vanilla extract, salt, honey, and powdered sugar and whip to combine, about 1 minute more.
  • Place the first cake on a plate, then top with a large dollop of frosting. Layer the second and third layer, frosting in between each layer. Finish by frosting the outside of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  • Sprinkle pistachio pieces along the sides of the cake, pushing it into the frosting gently with your hands. If you'd like, decorate the top of your cake with fresh fruit, more pistachio crumbs or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!

Tips:
