Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large egg whites
  • ⅝ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1¼ cups pistachios
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ⅓ cup cake flour
  • 8 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
  • ⅓ cup water
  • 2½ sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp pistachio paste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 465°F (240°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place two ungreased pastry rings.
  2. Grind pistachios in a food processor until finely ground, then mix with powdered sugar and cake flour.
  3. Whip egg whites with salt until foamy; gradually add sugar while whisking until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold in the dry pistachio mixture until no streaks remain.
  5. Divide the batter between pastry rings and bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 15 minutes.
  6. Cool in the oven for an hour before removing from rings.
  7. For buttercream: Beat egg yolks until thick; prepare sugar syrup by heating sugar and water to 240°F (115°C). Combine with yolks and whip until cool, then add softened butter, vanilla, and pistachio paste until smooth.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering meringue rounds with buttercream in between.
