Eggless Pistachio Cake

I love working with pistachios- they’re beautiful and lend a great flavor and texture to the cake. Moreover, this eggless pistachio cake uses greek yogurt instead of eggs, which are a splendid substitute for eggs.

I’ve been baking a lot of desserts with nuts these day and the best part is that the possibilities are endless. There is so much you can do with nuts in the kitchen. So many flavors you can pair with them. Some of my favorite nut desserts from the blog are chocolate hazelnut cake, mini fruit and nut cakes, and the apple-blackberry-walnut cake.

Ingredients of this beautiful Eggless Pistachio Cake

To start with the very basics, this eggless pistachio cake needs crushed pistachios. Obviously, your heads will turn to a food processor and I do second that, however, be careful to not overdo the crushing. By doing so, you will simply end up with a pistachio paste and as fascinating as it sounds, it won’t do your cake any good.

Also, do notice that the procedure of baking this beautiful eggless pistachio cake asks you to alternate the dry ingredients with the wet ones and alternate with milk. This is a crucial step. This is because doing so will help us with the saturation of the batter. If you add all the dry ingredients in one go, it becomes difficult to fold the batter. On the other hand, when you choose to alternate with milk, it helps you to maintain and practice control over the saturation of the recipe and is also convenient in whisking it up.

Eggless Pistachio Cake with Rose Syrup

According to me, pistachio and rose combination go really well together. Even though I have not used rose syrup for this eggless pistachio cake, I know that you guys will definitely love to have some rosiness to burst in your mouths with each bite of the cake.

For the rose syrup, you can refer down below.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 tsp rose essence
• 2.5 tbsp powdered sugar
• 3 tbsp water

Procedure:

• In a bowl, add all three ingredients. Mix it well so it has a thin consistency.
• Using a teaspoon and a silicone brush, brush it evenly all around the cake.

Do not use excess syrup as your cake will end up being too sweet.

Topping the Eggless Pistachio Cake

As you can see, I have finished the cake with some whipped cream and fresh figs. However, you can play around with the toppings. You can try the rose syrup and generously sprinkle roasted pistachios on top. You can also top the cake off with some cream cheese frosting or with some vanilla bean buttercream frosting!
