Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 130 g butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 420 g sugar
  • 200 ml liquid cream
  • 320 g flour
  • 40 cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 50 g pistachios
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 2 tbs water
  • salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 150°

Chocolate Batter

  • Whisk together 65g butter, 220g sugar and three eggs until you get a fluffy dough.
  • Pour 100ml liquid cream to it and mix again. Now add a pinch of salt, the baking powder and the cocoa powder. Mix again until you get even dough.

Pistachio Batter

  • Start by preparing the pistachio cream.
  • In a saucepan, bring the water, 20g of sugar and the honey to a boil.
  • While the syrup is cooking, mix the pistachios in a blender until you obtain a fine powder.
  • Now pour the honey syrup on the nuts and mix again until it gets creamy.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the remaining butter, eggs and sugar. Add the pistachio cream and mix again.
  • Pour the remaining liquid cream to it, mix, then add the flour, another pinch of salt and the baking powder. Mix again until you get even dough.
  • Fill the cake mold with the help of two ladles (or normal soup spoons, depending on the pattern you want to get) alternating the pistachio and chocolate batter.
  • When both batters are gone, take a fork, put into the dough at one end of the mold and push it to the other end. Now you got the final swirl.
  • Bake for one hour.
  • Check with the point of the knife if the cake is ready. If it comes out with some wet batter, crumbs or stickiness on it, the cake needs to bake a little bit more time. Depending on the material of the cake mold it might take some 10 minutes more.
  • If it comes out dry, take it out of the oven and remove it from the mold. Let it cool down until you serve it.
  • Enjoy!!!
