Travel cake almond pistachio
Ingredients
For the sweet pastry (you'll only need about half)
- 210 g flour T55
- 125 g soft butter
- 35 g powdered sugar
- 25 g almond powder
- 50 g beaten egg
For the pistachio interior:
- 150 g pistachio powder
- 60 g sugar
- 25 g amber rum or orange blossom water
- 50 g egg white
For the cake batter :
- 140 g melted soft butter
- 120 g sugar
- 180 g almond powder
- 130 g egg
- 1 c. coffee liquid vanilla extract
- 20 g amber rum or orange blossom water
- 120 g flour T55
- 3 g baking powder
For decoration :
Instructions
- For the sweet dough, prepare the recipe as explained on this page HERE!
- Prepare the pistachio interior. Simply mix all the ingredients in a container.
- The same goes for cake batter! Just melt the butter, then add the rest of the ingredients. To measure the egg weight, break 3 eggs into a bowl and beat into an omelette, then weigh out the 130g.
- Roll out a piece of sweet dough on a floured work surface, about 2mm thick, then place in a 20cm baking tin (lined with greaseproof paper cut to size). Cut the dough into a disk.
- Place the disc of dough on the parchment paper in the bottom of the tin.
- Pour in about half the cake batter and spread it out evenly.
- For the pistachio inside, it's easier to use a piping bag, even if the result is ugly, because everything will be covered!
- Then spread a little more with a spoon, to get closer to the edge.
- Pour in the other half of the dough, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle with slivered almonds.
- Bake for 1 hour in an oven preheated to 165°C on static heat (also known as traditional baking), which is not rotary heat. If you turn the heat on, the cake will puff up with a bump in the middle, whereas with static heat, the cake puffs up evenly over the entire surface.
- Once out of the oven, leave the cake to cool for a good hour. Unmould the cake and place on a wire rack. I brush on a neutral topping, but you can also use warmed apricot jam.
