Lemon Cake With Raspberries And Pistachios Food

RASPBERRY, PISTACHIO & LEMON CURD TRIFLES

Steps:

• Cut the madeira cake into 1cm thick slices, and sandwich pieces together using 4 tbsp of the lemon curd. Cut into small squares, and pile into four dessert glasses or one medium trifle dish.
• Mash half the raspberries in a bowl with a fork, and stir in the vanilla and limoncello. Spoon over the sponge. Top with more halved or whole raspberries - saving some to finish - and a scattering of the pistachios.
• Stir most of the remaining pistachios into the custard, then spoon over the fruit and sponge.
• Whip the cream and sugar in a large bowl until thick and billowy, and holding soft peaks. Spoon over the trifles. Top with the reserved pistachios, a swirl of lemon curd and the remaining raspberries.

LEMON CAKE WITH RASPBERRIES AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Coat a 9" diameter cake pan with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
• Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With mixer running, add vanilla and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, then gradually add oil, mixing just until combined. Fold in lemon zest and dry ingredients.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Scatter berries over cake, then pistachios and 2 tablespoons sugar. Bake cake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 45-55 minutes. Meanwhile, bring remaining 1/4 cup sugar and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice to a boil in a medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar; let lemon syrup cool.
• Transfer hot cake (still in pan) to a wire rack and immediately brush with lemon syrup (use all of it). Let cake cool completely in pan.
• Do ahead: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Store wrapped tightly at room temperature.

PISTACHIO, CARDAMOM AND LEMON DRIZZLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line a 900g/2lb loaf tin.
• In a food processor, pulse the pistachios to make a powder.
• In a large bowl, mix together the sunflower oil and caster sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla paste, ground cardamom and lemon zest. Stir until combined.
• In a separate bowl, add the flour, ground pistachios, ground almonds, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate soda. Stir until well combined then fold into the wet ingredients in the other bowl. Fold in the soured cream.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Meanwhile, prepare the syrup. Heat the lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar is dissolved, then briefly bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• As soon as the cake is cooked, poke holes all over the top using a skewer. Pour over two-thirds of the hot syrup and leave to cool in the tin. Add half the extra pistachios (for decorating the cake) to the remaining syrup.
• When the cake is cool, remove it from the tin.
• For the lemon icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
• To finish, finely chop the remaining pistachios and scatter over the icing. Top with the syrup-coated pistachios and some dried rose petals.

RASPBERRY AND PISTACHIO SEMIFREDDO

Steps:

• Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all four sides.
• Beat sour cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 minute. Add sugar and beat to combine. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in heavy cream. Increase speed to medium and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Fold in pistachios and 1 pint raspberries; transfer to prepared pan. Freeze until set, at least 4 hours or up to 1 week.
• Whisk together lemon juice and honey in a bowl until dissolved. Add remaining raspberries and toss to combine. Let sit, tossing occasionally, 18 to 20 minutes. Invert semifreddo onto a platter; discard plastic. Top with raspberries and mint leaves.

LEMON & RASPBERRY MOUSSE WITH PISTACHIO & GINGER SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. For the shortbread, butter a 20cm shallow cake or tart tin. Whisk the butter and sugar together until pale and well-combined, then fold in both gingers, the pistachios and a pinch of salt. Sift in the flour and knead to a soft dough in the bowl. Tip into the tin and press the mixture into the base in an even layer.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until pale golden and dry-looking. Cut the shortbread into slices or wedges while hot, then leave to cool in the tin - it will firm up as it cools. Sprinkle with the ½ tbsp caster sugar.
• To make the mousse, whip the double cream, lemon zest, lemon curd and yogurt in a bowl with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon into small serving glasses or ramekins and chill.
• Mash half the raspberries with the icing sugar using a fork, or purée in a small blender along with any defrosting juices to make a coulis. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• To serve, spoon the coulis over the mousses, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve with the shortbread wedges alongside.

RASPBERRY BUTTERMILK CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Grease 6 non-stick mini round molds with a thin layer of butter (or a 12-inch pan). Sprinkle with flour. Invert the molds and gently shake the excess flour off. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 1 cup granulated sugar until you get a pale yellow foam; the texture of the egg yolk will be thicker. Add the vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients.
• Add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the egg mixture. Mix until well combined. Add butter, brown sugar and lemon juice.
• In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar with the fresh raspberries.
• Reserve 6 pistachio kernels and slightly crush them. Set aside.
• Pour a layer of cake batter into the molds. Cover with raspberries and whole pistachio kernels. Finish with the remaining cake batter.
• Place the molds on a baking tray. Bake for 5 minutes at 375°F, then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for another 40-45 minutes (rotate the tray half-way through the baking process). A skewer or a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• This next step is optional (first photo). Loosen the sides of the mold using a knife. Place a serving plate on top of the mold and invert the cake.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries. Dust with powdered sugar (using a fine-mesh strainer) and finish a sprinkle of the reserved crushed pistachios.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
• Serve with hot tea.
• Bon appétit!
