▶️ Recipe:

Dry ingredients
2 cups Flour (315g)
2 tsp Baking powder
½ tsp Baking soda
½ tsp Salt

Dairy
¾ cups Sour cream (180 ml)
½ cup Whole milk (180 ml)

Wet ingredients
2 sticks of unsalted butter (1 cup)
1 ½ cups Sugar (350g)
3 Eggs (170g)
1 tbsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Pistachio extract (Optional)
½ tsp Almond extract
5 tbsp Pistachio butter or Pistachio paste

Green gel food color (Optional)
Vegetable oil for lining the pan

▶️ TOOLS:
9x13 inch cake pan (Having 2 is best for time efficiency but is not necessary)
Rectangle cake boards (at least 9x13 inch in size)
Heart shape cut out - 6-6.5 inch width - You can print one out for guidance

▶️ Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
1) Prep two 9x13 inch pans by spreading a thin layer of vegetable oil and then lining them with parchment paper. Spread another thin layer of vegetable oil and add a thin layer of flour.

2) Combine dry ingredients and mix very well

3) In a measuring cup, combine the sour cream and whole milk. Heat it up in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Set aside.

4) Measure the eggs in a bowl and set aside.

5) Place the room temperature butter and sugar in a bowl and mix at high speed for 5-7 minutes, scraping the sides every couple of minutes. About halfway through, add the pistachio paste/butter.

6) Turn down the mixer to medium speed. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined for about 1-2 minutes, scraping the sides when needed.

7) Take about ⅓ of the dry ingredients and add it to the mixing bowl. Stir at a low speed just until it’s combined. Add half of the milk and sour cream mixture and mix until just combined. Repeat this step alternating between the wet and dry ingredients, ending with the last third of the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

8) Split the batter into two 9x13 pans lined with parchment paper. Use a food scale for accuracy if you like. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across.

9) Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Do the toothpick test to ensure the middle of the cakes are fully cooked. Once the cake layers have cooled down, flip onto rectangle cake boards and carefully wrap with plastic wrap., using the flip on cake board method so that the layers don’t break apart. Freeze overnight or refrigerate for a few hours. We want to cut the heart shape when the cake is cold.

10) Unwrap the cold cake layers and cut out the hearts. You should be able to cut out the 6 in width heart twice in each layer, leaving you with 4 heart shaped layers.

11) Using your favorite frosting, carefully stack the cake layers and smooth out with a crumb coat. Add a layer of frosting and smooth out. Decorate the cake however you like based on the occasion. Enjoy!
