Mini Pistachio Bundts image

Mini but mighty, these rich, Middle Eastern-inspired rings are made with half flour, half ground pistachios (for a vivid-green color, seek out the blanched Sicilian variety), and flavored with pistachio extract and aromatic orange-flower water. While optional, chopped nuts and rose petals are the classic toppings on a Persian love cake and make for an extra pretty presentation.

Time 2h30m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces, plus more for pan
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1 large egg plus 1 large yolk, room temperature
1/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure pistachio or almond extract
1/4 teaspoon orange-flower water (optional)
3/4 cup Sicilian pistachios, or blanched and peeled shelled pistachios, plus more, coarsely chopped, for serving (optional)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 to 2 tablespoons whole milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/8 teaspoon orange-flower water
Dried rose petals, for serving (optional; available at kalustyans.com)

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Preheat oven to 325°F with a rack in center. Brush the hollows of a mini Bundt pan with butter. Dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together egg and yolk, milk, nut extract, and orange‐flower water.
  • Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground. Add confectioners' sugar; pulse to combine. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and add flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed to combine.
  • Continue beating while gradually adding butter until mixture is crumbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add half of milk mixture; increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly add remaining milk mixture and beat, scraping down bowl as needed, until incorporated, about 15 seconds.
  • Divide batter evenly among hollows of prepared pan (using a piping bag fitted with a coupler or a plain large tip makes neat work of this). Bake until tops are light golden and spring back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes.
  • Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. (Cakes can be stored unglazed, wrapped in plastic, at room temperature up to 2 days.)
  • For the Glaze: Whisk milk into sugar until mixture has the consistency of thick white glue. Stir in orange‐flower water. Glaze can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
  • Spoon glaze over tops of cakes, allowing it to drip down sides. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and rose petals; let stand until set, about 30 minutes.

These bundts are a great way to use up leftover pistachio pudding mix. They're also a great make-ahead dessert, since they can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

I'm not a huge fan of pistachio, but these bundts were surprisingly good. The pistachio flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I used a bundt pan that was a little too big, so my bundts were a bit flatter than I would have liked, but they were still tasty.
