Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g high-quality bittersweet or dark chocolate
  • 100g fresh shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 120g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl to ensure even distribution and remove lumps for a smooth batter.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the bittersweet or dark chocolate with unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or using short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until silky smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the room temperature eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and milk or cream, then slowly pour in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture, blending well to combine.
  4. Combine the Batter: Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to maintain a tender texture and avoid density.
  5. Add the Pistachios: Gently fold in most of the roughly chopped pistachios, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top for a crunchy finish.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined cake pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother and consistent batter.
  • Sift dry ingredients to incorporate air and prevent lumps, ensuring a light cake texture.
  • Chop pistachios coarsely to preserve crunch and visual appeal.
  • Test your oven temperature with a thermometer to avoid overbaking or dryness.
  • Cool the cake completely before slicing to allow clean, neat cuts.
