Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by buttering it and lining with parchment paper.
- Sift together the pistachio flour, almond flour, cornstarch, and fine sea salt in a mixing bowl.
- Combine granulated sugar and orange zest in a separate bowl, rubbing them together to release fragrant oils.
- Whip the eggs on medium-high speed until frothy, then gradually add the sugar mixture until pale and thick.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan and add the extra virgin olive oil; drizzle into the egg mixture and fold gently.
- Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the ganache, warm the heavy cream until simmering, then pour over the chopped dark and milk chocolate. Stir until melted and glossy.
- Once the cake is cool, pour the ganache over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides. Chill for 30 minutes to set.
- Decorate with slivered pistachios and serve at room temperature.
