Recipe: Make our delicious Pistachio and Orange Blossom Cake

Anne — Sun, 01 Jul 2012 11:29:20 +0000

This is one of our most popular summer cakes made with creamy pistachios, fragrant orange blossom and zesty oranges. All topped with a soft, sweet creamy cheese. Perfect for afternoon tea.

250g butter
100g shelled unsalted pistachios
150g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
300g golden caster sugar
Zest of 1 large orange, finely grated
4 eggs, lightly beaten
100g ground almonds
3 tsp orange flower water

For the Orange Syrup:

Juice of 1 large orange
60 g golden caster sugar
1- 2 tbsp orange flower water

For the Topping:

125g softly whipped cream
200g soft cream cheese

(Or mascarpone if you prefer)

Zest of 1 orange, finely grated
1 tsp orange flower water
30g icing sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 170°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Line a 9 inch cake tin
Finely grind the pistachios in a food processor.
Cream together the butter, sugar and zest until very light and fluffy
Slowly add the eggs
Fold in the flour, baking powder, almonds and pistachios and lastly, the orange flower water.
Scrape the batter into the tin and bake for about 45 minutes
Meanwhile, make the syrup; tip the orange juice, sugar and orange flower water into a small pan and bring to a rolling boil to reduce
Immediately the cake comes from the oven, prick it all over with a fine skewer or drizzle over the syrup. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
Turn the cake upside down on to a cake stand or place, so the flat base now forms the top. Beat together all the ingredients for the topping, and spread it on with a palette knife
