Method:
Take eggs, two bowls, and separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. First, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. To the egg yolks, add xylitol and water, then whisk until a light foam forms. In a separate bowl, mix sifted flour with blended pistachios and baking powder, then gently fold it into the egg yolk mixture. Finally, slowly incorporate the whisked egg whites. Take a cake mold (we used one with a diameter of 20 cm) and line it with baking paper. Spread the prepared batter evenly onto it. Place it in the oven and bake at 180 °C for approximately 25 minutes. Check if the cake is done with a toothpick and if none of the batter sticks to it, it’s ready and you can remove it from the oven.
Allow the prepared cake sponge to cool, and in the meantime, proceed with preparing the cream. Whip together the cream cheese, quark, pistachio butter and Flavor Drops to taste. Let the cream chill in the refrigerator until the cake sponge cools.
Now we’re approaching the finale. Spread all of the cream evenly over the surface of the cooled cake sponge and refrigerate it overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle crushed pistachios evenly around the edges.
