Give an olive shade to the biscuit without using dyes. Pistachio sponge cake has a beautiful color and at the same time has a subtle aroma. This is a great way to make a cake interesting and unusual. Cream based on cream cheese for such a biscuit is better suited than any other. Well, a few words about the decoration. It's not necessarily mastic.

Cooking method

Cooking time: 3 h

1. Put the softened butter in the bowl of the mixer. Here we pour sugar, whisk to a fluffy foam for 5 minutes. The mass should turn white and increase in volume.

2. Without ceasing to beat, we break one chicken egg into a meat mass. After each egg, beat the mass for 2-3 minutes.

3. Chop pistachios with a blender, put them in a bowl to the main mass. After the pistachios, add lemon zest, pour milk, mix until smooth.

4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour with baking powder. Here we also add a pinch of salt. Mix all the dry ingredients with a hand whisk.

5. Carefully introduce the pistachio mass to the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. We spread the dough into a mold with a diameter of 18-20 centimeters.

6. We send the form to the oven preheated to 170 degrees. Bake for 25-35 minutes. After cooling in the mold, and then remove.

7. While the biscuit cools down, we will prepare the cream. The cooled cream is whipped into a fluffy mass. Cream cheese is whipped with powdered sugar in a separate container. Then we combine both masses, mix with a spatula so that the cream does not fall off.

8. Cut the biscuit into 2 parts, smear with cream, assemble the cake. The top that rose during baking will not be cut off. Let the cake be rounded. We send it to the refrigerator.

9. From now on, the cake is completely ready. But in the recipe it is decorated with mastic. It is not necessary to continue, if desired. So, let's prepare a ganache for leveling the cake. We heat the cream on the fire, but do not boil it.

10. We break the chocolate into pieces. Spread in hot cream, mix until completely homogeneous. Leave for 15 minutes. Let the ganache thicken. We level the surface of the cake with it. Let it freeze in the refrigerator.

11. And now we roll out the mastic, cover the cake with it. Cut off the excess at the edges. Decorate with flowers cut out of white mastic. You can cut it using cookie cutters. It can be not only flowers.

This is how a beautiful and delicious cake turned out.

Bon appetit!
