Ingredients:
1 cup pistachios
1 cup powdered sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions:
Pistachio Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. In a food processor, blend the pistachios until they are finely ground.
Mixing the Batter:
In a large bowl, combine the ground pistachios and powdered sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
Baking:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Ganache: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips and butter. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Assembling:
Once the cake is cool, pour the chocolate ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the ganache to set for a bit before slicing.
