Yield Makes a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/100g sugar, plus 1 1/2 tbsp/20g for the topping
1/3 cup/90g light brown sugar
1 1/4 cup/180g ground almonds
1/4 cup/30g ground pistachios
1/2 cup/45g desiccated coconut
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp/50g self-rising flour (preferably Gold Medal brand)
A pinch of salt
1 1/4 tsp ground mahleb
10 tbsp/150g butter, melted
3 large eggs
2 cups/300g cherries
Scant 1/2 cup/50g roughly chopped pistachios, for the topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake tin with butter.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter and mix in the eggs. Spoon the batter into the pre-greased tin and smooth down.
  • Remove the pits from the cherries-you can do this with a cherry pitter or by just pulling them apart and popping the pits out with your fingers. I like to do this over the cake tin, so that any juice drips onto the cake and adds color. Drop the pitted cherries onto the batter and sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp/20g of sugar and the roughly chopped pistachios. Bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, then turn the cake around and bake for a further 8-10 minutes, until the cake between the cherries goes all golden.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the tin, as it needs time to settle, then gently remove by running a knife around the edges. Covered well, it will keep in the fridge for up to a week (not much chance of that happening), but for the best flavor, allow it to return to room temperature before eating.

Tips:

  • Before melting the chocolate, use kitchen scissors to ensure the coconut flakes are uniform in size. This will ensure an even spread in the mixture.
  • To avoid breaking your pistachio nuts, place them in a freezer bag and use a rolling pin or mallet to smash them.
  • If you want a soft texture, make sure you do not overbeat the mixture. Overbeating can make the mixture too dry and crumbly.
  • If you store your pistachio coconut chews in an airtight container at room temperature, they should last for up to a week. For a longer shelf life, you can store them in the refrigerator, where they will maintain their freshness for up to a month.

With its fusion of flavors and textures, these pistachio coconut chews are an absolute delight. Not only are they remarkably simple to prepare, but their vibrant colors make them a visually appealing treat.
