Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield one 8-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 26

Unsalted butter or nonstick cooking spray, for the pans and cooling rack
1 cup roasted unsalted pistachios
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Frosting, recipe follows
Donut Bagels, recipe follows
Sprinkles, for garnish
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces (1 cup) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Big pinch kosher salt
2 drops pink gel food coloring, with a spot of brown, preferably AmeriColor Deep Pink and Chocolate Brown
Marzipan, kneaded with food coloring to make lox, tomatoes, capers and onions
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Mixture of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, a pinch of kosher salt and turbinado sugar, for seeded topping
6 mini store-bought plain or lightly-glazed cake donuts, preferably Hostess Donettes
Simple syrup, for adhering toppings
Plain cream cheese, at room temperature, for schmearing on the donut "bagel"

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Place the pistachios in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and grind them until you have small crumbs. Measure out 1/4 cup of the crumbs and set them aside for the filling.
  • Pour the remaining crumbs into a large mixing bowl. Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, extracts and 3/4 cup water. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, then pour into the cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, begin checking for doneness at 28 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them onto a greased cooling rack and cool completely.
  • Level the cake rounds and spread the top of one cake with a layer of Frosting. Sprinkle on the reserved ground pistachios. Place the other cake round on top, cut-side down, then frost all over with the remaining Frosting.
  • Place the Donut Bagels on the top of the cake. Decorate the top and sides of the cake with the sprinkles.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, beat together the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and salt until smooth. Add the food coloring and whisk until fully combined.
  • Color and shape the marzipan on a powdered sugar dusted surface. Cut into circles for tomatoes. Smash into oblong shapes for salmon. Roll into little balls for capers. And to make the onions, just brush a bit of food coloring on the edges of slivered marzipan.
  • Put the seeded topping mixture in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the donuts with simple syrup, then dip into the seeded topping, pressing down slightly so everything adheres. Cut the donuts in half and spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the cut sides of the top and bottom pieces. To the bottom halves, add the marzipan salmon, tomato, onions and capers. Top with the seeded donut halves.

PISTACHIO CAKE FROM SCRATCH



Pistachio Cake from Scratch image

A better pistachio cake, this one's made from scratch. A unique mixing method is employed that assures good results every time. This is very similar to my almond butter cake -- the addition of oil and the use of egg yolks make it a bit richer, but it's not dense as the additional dry ingredients in the pistachio pudding mix keep it light.

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
2/3 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 2/3 cups sifted cake flour
1/3 cup finely ground roasted pistachios
1 cup superfine sugar
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package Jell-O instant pistachio pudding mix
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted nuts)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to a cool room temperature
1 tablespoon walnut oil or 1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine eggs, extract and 1/4 of the sour cream in a small bowl.
  • Cut butter into chunks.
  • Put remaining sour cream in another small bowl with tablespoon of oil.
  • allow all ingredients to come to room temperature while you prepare a 9-inch springform pan, line bottom with parchment, grease and flour.
  • You can use a 9x2-inch round pan as well, but it will be a bit more difficult to unmold the cake.
  • Toast pistachios in a 350 degree (f.) oven for 7-8 minutes, cool then grind fine, (I use a bag and rolling pin)-- if using dry measuring cups be sure to grind first then measure Sift all dry ingredients into the work bowl of your mixer and mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine.
  • Add softened butter and sour cream, mix on low to combine, scrape bowl, beat on medium (med-high for a hand mixer) for 90 seconds.
  • This will aerate the cake and give it structure.
  • Scrape the bowl down and in two additions add the egg mixture, beating for 20 seconds after each addition.
  • Scrape the bowl one last time and give it a couple pulses.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, (rotate pan 180 degrees after 25 minutes) a toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean and the top of the cake will spring back when lightly pressed.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes, remove sides of pan and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • About 2 hours.
  • It's delicious slightly warm with just a dusting of powdered sugar, topped with sweetened whipped cream or served with pistachio ice cream.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it's important to follow that instruction. This will help the ingredients blend together more smoothly and create a more consistent batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the cake. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Don't Open the Oven Door: Resist the temptation to open the oven door while the cake is baking. This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
