Chocolate Pistachio Cake

How to make Chocolate Pistachio Cake. Here's what you'll need: For Ganache: 1 cup heavy cream (250ml) or all purpose cream 2 tbsp butter salted 2 and 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (400g) CAKE: 3/4 cup softened butter(170g) 1 cup sugar(200g) 1/2 cup creamy pistachio spread (100g) 2 tbsp oil (25ml) 3 large eggs 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml) 1/8 tsp green food coloring (optional) 2 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour (280g) 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder (6g) 1 tsp salt (5g) 1/3 cup chopped pistachio (55g) 1/2 cup milk (125ml) I used evaporated milk More creamy pistachio spread for filling 1. For chocolate ganache: In a saucepan, heat heavy cream or all purpose cream and butter until starts to boil. Turn off heat and pour cream mixture onto chocolate chips. Stir until melted. Set aside or keep in the fridge to settle. I usually made mine a day before. 2. For cake: Preheat oven at 160ºC or 320ºF. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add creamy pistachio spread and oil. Beat until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, mixing every after addition. Then add vanilla extract. Add few drops of green food coloring, this is optional. You can totally skip this process. It's for aesthetic purposes only :) Mix until combined. 3. Sift in flour, baking powder and salt in two batches. Mixing after addition. Then add chopped pistachio nuts. Then add milk, mix to combine. Scrape sides and bottom. 4. Line a two 7x3 inches round pan with parchment paper. Divide batter equally and pour in the lined pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted. Let it cool down completely. Trim top and sides. Cut into half, with half of an inch thickness. 5. Stack and frost starting from trimmed cake, then creamy pistachio spread and chocolate ganache. Then repeat the process to the rest. Frost cake with ganache. 6. Serve and enjoy! Food for the soul: Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
