Yield Makes a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup/100g sugar, plus 1 1/2 tbsp/20g for the topping
1/3 cup/90g light brown sugar
1 1/4 cup/180g ground almonds
1/4 cup/30g ground pistachios
1/2 cup/45g desiccated coconut
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp/50g self-rising flour (preferably Gold Medal brand)
A pinch of salt
1 1/4 tsp ground mahleb
10 tbsp/150g butter, melted
3 large eggs
2 cups/300g cherries
Scant 1/2 cup/50g roughly chopped pistachios, for the topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9 in/24cm diameter ring cake tin with butter.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour over the melted butter and mix in the eggs. Spoon the batter into the pre-greased tin and smooth down.
  • Remove the pits from the cherries-you can do this with a cherry pitter or by just pulling them apart and popping the pits out with your fingers. I like to do this over the cake tin, so that any juice drips onto the cake and adds color. Drop the pitted cherries onto the batter and sprinkle the top of the cake with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp/20g of sugar and the roughly chopped pistachios. Bake in the center of the oven for 25-30 minutes, then turn the cake around and bake for a further 8-10 minutes, until the cake between the cherries goes all golden.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the tin, as it needs time to settle, then gently remove by running a knife around the edges. Covered well, it will keep in the fridge for up to a week (not much chance of that happening), but for the best flavor, allow it to return to room temperature before eating.

CRUMB CAKE WITH COCONUT-PISTACHIO TOPPING



Crumb Cake With Coconut-Pistachio Topping image

Called the "new deli" crumb cake at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Mich., this incredibly moist sour cream cake has a traditionally nubby topping speckled with coconut. It's also gently warmed with the Indian spices that make a cup of chai so irresistible: ginger, cardamom and cloves. The recipe comes from the deli's long-awaited cookbook, "Zingerman's Bakehouse," by head bakers Amy Emberling and Frank Carollo.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means that they should be at about the same temperature as your kitchen. This helps them to mix together more evenly and smoothly.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake in a Preheated Oven: Always preheat your oven before baking the cake. This helps to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients.

The pistachio coconut cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of pistachio cake, coconut frosting, and pistachio brittle, this cake is sure to impress your friends and family. Follow these tips to make the best pistachio coconut cake possible.
