Pistachio Cake With Butter Rum Cherry Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a round 8-inch (20-cm) cake pan and line with parchment paper.
• Add the pistachios to a food processor and pulse until you have a fine powder. Set aside.
• Using a stand mixer or electric whisk, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla for 3 to 5 minutes, or until pale and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl every so often. Add the flour, baking powder and ground pistachios, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in the sour cream before transferring the batter to the prepared pan. Smooth the surface of the batter with an offset spatula and arrange the cherries randomly on top without pressing them into the batter.
• Bake for 32 to 38 minutes, or until the cake is well browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan and setting on a wire rack. Once the cake is completely cool, use a sieve to dust lightly with confectioners' sugar and top with extra cherries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Beat cake mix, vegetable oil, club soda, eggs, and 1 package pistachio pudding mix together in a bowl until blended; pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn cake onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
• Beat milk, 1 package pistachio pudding mix, and whipped topping mix together in a bowl using an electric mixer on high until frosting forms stiff peaks. Spread frosting on 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.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the flour and almonds; cut in butter until crumbly. Press onto the bottom and 1-1/4 in. up the sides of a greased 10-in. springform pan. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and pudding mixes until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour over crust. , Place pan on a baking sheet. Reduce heat to 350°. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. , Slice cheesecake; drizzle slices with chocolate syrup. Garnish with whipped cream and pistachios if desired.
