1. Sift the flour with cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Sifting ensures there are no lumps and everything is well combined.

Step 10

9. Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C). Pour the dough into a prepared ring or mold.

Step 11

10. Bake the pistachio biscuit for about 40-45 minutes. Check for doneness with a dry skewer.

Step 17

4. Gently mix the warm milk mixture with the whipped cream.

Step 18

Step 20

1. Heat the strawberry puree with sugar until the sugar fully dissolves.

Step 21

Step 22

3. Pour the mixture into two 16cm (6.3 inch) rings, and freeze until set.

Step 23

Step 26

Step 27

1. Assemble the cake in an 18cm ring lined with acetate film.

Step 28

2. Place the first pistachio cake layer at the bottom.

Step 29

3. Spread a layer of pistachio mousse over the cake layer.

Step 30

Step 31

Step 32

6. Top with the final pistachio cake layer.

Step 33

Variations

For a **gluten-free version**, you can substitute the flour with an equivalent measure of gluten-free baking flour. Make sure your baking powder is labeled gluten-free as well! 🥳 If you're looking to make this cake **vegan**, swap the heavy cream with coconut cream and use plant-based milk. Opt for a vegan gelatin substitute like agar agar, and use vegan butter and vegan white chocolate. Replace the eggs with a combination of applesauce or flaxseed meal (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg). 🌱💚

Faq

  • What can I use if I don’t have a baking ring or mold?

    You can use an 8-inch springform pan as an alternative. Line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

  • How do I know if my cake is fully baked?

    Insert a dry skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs, your cake is done.

  • Can I make the components in advance?

    Absolutely! You can make the pistachio sponge and strawberry jelly a day before and assemble everything on the day you intend to serve the cake.

  • What’s the best way to store this cake?

    Store the assembled cake in the refrigerator, well-covered, to maintain its freshness. It should be consumed within 3-4 days.

  • How can I stabilize the mousse if it's too runny?

    Ensure your heavy cream is whipped to soft peaks before folding it in. If needed, you can add a bit more dissolved gelatin to stabilize it better.

  • Why is my frosting runny?

    Your cream cheese and butter might have been too warm. Chill them slightly before whipping together to achieve a stiffer frosting.
