Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter or oil and lining with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Whisk the eggs in another bowl until frothy, then mix in the olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing just until blended.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Once ready, cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Melt the butter in a skillet, add the kataifi pastry, and cook until golden and crispy.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, then fold in the pistachio butter and the toasted kataifi pastry. Chill until set.
- Heat the heavy cream and honey until steaming, then pour over the chopped dark chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- Layer one cake on a serving plate, spread with pistachio filling, then top with the second layer and cover with the ganache.
