Pistachio And Coconut Cake Recipes

CRUMB CAKE WITH COCONUT-PISTACHIO TOPPING

Steps:

• Make the topping: In a small skillet, melt together butter and coconut oil. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, salt, cardamom, ginger, and cloves. Pour in melted butter mixture, and stir with a fork until well mixed and crumbly. (Do not overmix, or it will turn to paste.) Use your fingers to mix in coconut and pistachios.
• Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and let dry overnight or in the oven (see Note).
• Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with nonstick spray.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix together sugar and butter on medium speed until the color lightens. Mix in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and homogenous. Mix in sour cream and vanilla until light and creamy.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to creamed butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• Scrape into prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Evenly distribute topping over cake batter, making sure to put topping along the edge. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 55 to 65 minutes. Cool to room temperature before serving.

CHERRY, PISTACHIO & COCONUT CAKE

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.
