Soft Lemon Cake with Pistachio Cream and Berries

Ingredients

For the lemon base

  • 75 g eggs
  • 120 g sugar
  • zest of 1 organic lemon
  • 60 g cooking cream
  • 30 ml mild olive oil
  • 90 g flour
  • 2 g baking powder
  • a knob of butter for the mould.

For the chocolate and pistachio cream

For the garnish

  • 2/3 tablespoons of berry jam
  • 1 bowl of raspberries
  • 1 bowl of blueberries
  • 4/5 strawberries cut in half
  • 1 lime
  • icing sugar

Preparation

For the lemon base: 

  • Turn on the oven to 175°C. Beat the egg, sugar and lemon zest with an electric whisk until the mixture has doubled in volume, then add the cream.
  • Sift the flour and baking powder and add to the mixture, then add the olive oil.
  • Pour the mixture into a buttered mould with a diameter of 26 cm and a height of 2 cm. Bake for 12-15 minutes: the surface should be golden brown. Leave to cool before unmoulding.

For the chocolate and pistachio cream:

  • Finely chop the chocolate and transfer to a bowl, with the Cremadelizia Pistacchio Babbi. 
  • Bring the cream to the boil in a small saucepan, then pour it over the chocolate. Blend the mixture with a hand blender and leave to cool, then cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
  • Before using the cream, whip it with an electric whisk and transfer it to a pastry bag with a smooth nozzle.

For the garnish:

  • Transfer the lemon cake to the serving dish. Spread the jam evenly, then cover the surface with the pistachio cream.
  • Decorate with the berries, grated lime zest and dust with icing sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
