Description

A delightful dessert that combines the earthy, nutty flavor of pistachios with a light, fluffy cake and a rich, creamy filling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup finely ground pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup softened unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios (for garnishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick and pale.
  3. Gently fold in flour, baking powder, salt, and ground pistachios, then add vanilla extract.
  4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  5. Turn the cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar and roll it up, then allow to cool completely.
  6. In a bowl, blend cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth, then mix in vanilla and heavy cream.
  7. Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling, and then re-roll the cake tightly.
  8. Chill the rolled cake seam-side down for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped pistachios and a dusting of powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
