This Pistachio Milk Cake combines the rich creaminess of milk cake with the nutty goodness of pistachios. Soaked in a fragrant pistachio milk mixture and topped with whipped cream and a garnish of rose petals and pistachios, this indulgent dessert is perfect for festive occasions like Eid or any special gathering. The moist texture and vibrant flavors make it a showstopper.

Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 120g caster sugar
  • 120g self-raising flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Green food coloring (optional)

For the milk mixture:

  • 300 ml condensed milk
  • 300 ml evaporated milk
  • 250 ml full-fat milk
  • 80g pistachios, ground
  • Green food coloring (optional)

For the topping:

  • 284 ml double cream, whipped
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • Crushed dried rose petals and pistachios to garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gradually add 60g of caster sugar. Add a pinch of green food coloring (optional) and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, remaining sugar (60g), and vanilla extract until pale and fluffy.
  • Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites.
  • Sift in the self-raising flour and fold it gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, full-fat milk, ground pistachios, and a pinch of food coloring (optional). Stir well and strain the mixture.
  • Once the cake has cooled, pour 550 ml of the milk mixture over the cake and let it absorb. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
  • Whip the double cream with powdered sugar and spread it over the cake.
  • Garnish with crushed pistachios and dried rose petals.
  • Serve with the remaining milk mixture on the side, if desired.

Notes

  • For a non-dairy version, substitute with plant-based milk and whipped cream.
  • You can experiment with different nuts like almonds or cashews.
  • Green food coloring is optional and only for aesthetic purposes.
