Instructions
Step 1
To begin, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios and flour. Set aside. In another bowl, whisk together the honey, yogurt, egg, and baking powder until well combined. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed.
Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Let it cool before removing from the tin.
Step 2
For the Coffee Tres Leches, start by brewing your coffee and letting it cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until smooth. Once your cake is cooled, cut it into squares and carefully soak each piece in the coffee mixture.
Allow the cake to absorb the liquid for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance its flavor.
Step 3
Begin by whipping the egg whites in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until glossy. Stir in the vinegar. Spread the meringue on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making a circular layer.
Bake at a low temperature (120 degrees Celsius or 250 degrees Fahrenheit) for 1.5 hours or until the pavlova is crisp. Once cooled, top with whipped cream and scatter your mixed red berries over the top.
Step 4
To create the Cocoa Banana Crisp, first mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth. Add the cocoa powder and mix well. Gently fold in the crisp rice cereal until evenly coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet and bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15-20 minutes until crispy. Allow to cool before serving to keep the crunch.

Variations
Looking to switch things up? Here are some fun gluten-free and vegan variations! 🌱
For a gluten-free Pistachio Honey Cake, simply substitute regular flour with almond or coconut flour. It will stay moist and full of flavor!
If you’re going the vegan route, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce, and use a dairy-free yogurt alternative in all the recipes. You’ll never believe it’s vegan!
Faq
- What is the best way to make sure my cake rises properly?
Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing the batter. Proper oven temperature is also crucial!
- How do I prevent my cakes from sticking to the pan?
Grease the sides and bottom of your pan with butter or oil, and dust with flour or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- What can I substitute if I run out of eggs?
For each egg, you can use 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana, or 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water.
- How can I make my cakes more flavorful?
Add extracts, spices, or zest from citrus fruits to your batter for an aromatic boost! Consider incorporating rich fillings or layers as well.
- What’s the secret to a perfect buttercream frosting?
Be sure to use room temperature butter and mix until it's fluffy before gradually adding powdered sugar. Don’t forget to allow your cake layers to cool completely!
- How can I prevent my cake from collapsing?
Ensure you’re not overmixing and that you preheat your oven correctly. Use fresh ingredients for the best rise!
