Ingredients
  

Cake Layers
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 60 g almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 150 g sugar
  • 50 g pistachio paste unsweetened
  • 100 g butter melted
Cream & Filling
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 200 g whipping cream
  • 50 g powdered sugar
  • 200 g raspberries fresh or thawed frozen
  • chopped pistachios for decoration

Equipment

  • Springform pans (20 cm)
  • Electric mixer
  • Cooling rack
  • Spatula
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 170°C (fan). Line cake pans with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
  2. In a bowl, whisk flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy (5–7 mins).
  3. Gently fold in pistachio paste and melted butter. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–30 mins. Let cool completely.
  4. Mash or puree half the raspberries. Reserve the rest for layering and decoration.
  5. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone and powdered sugar. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
  6. Assemble cake: layer cake, cream, raspberry puree, and whole berries. Repeat. Frost lightly on top and sides for the 'naked' effect. Decorate with pistachios and berries.
  7. Chill the assembled cake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For an Easter version, decorate with pastel tones, edible flowers, or chocolate eggs. For mini cakes or jars, use smaller pans or containers. Pistachio lovers can enhance flavor by using homemade pistachio paste.
