Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups kataifi pastry (separated into strands)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for toasting kataifi)
  • 3/4 cup pistachio butter (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
  • 2 teaspoons neutral oil (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, olive oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. Step 5: Toast kataifi: Gently separate strands and toast in a large skillet with butter over medium heat until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  6. Step 6: Make pistachio filling: Melt white chocolate and allow to cool slightly. Stir in pistachio butter and optional oil. Fold in toasted kataifi. Chill until set.
  7. Step 7: Make whipped ganache: Heat cream and honey until steaming. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth, then cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until slightly firm, then whip until light and fluffy.
