Chocolate Pistachio Cake

So a while ago it was my dads birthday, and I wanted to make him a yummy, mouth-watering, eye catching mountain of deliciousness. What better to fill those demanding shoes than a chocolate cake? Me and my Nan...well we have a special connection with chocolate...we...LOVE IT! Every time I go to spend the night at my Nans there is always some sort of heavenly chocolate in the fridge. Now, i've shared enough secretes, onto the cake!

As always I spent 15 minutes just on measuring the baking parchment for the tins, I am a bit of a perfectionist (just a bit!) and instead of using oil to line the parchment I used butter, I don't know why but I find it easier to grease with. A blitz of the food processor and a whisking of eggs later this yummy mix is ready to battle the great oven.

30 minutes later and we have these two springy and moist chocolatey cushions, possibly fallen from heaven.

Yum.

I love decorating cakes- it's the best bit for me. To be honest more of the silky butter icing went in my mouth than on the cake! It is so scrumptious though, so I'm allowed I think.

The pistachios look like little emeralds!

yum.

Enjoy!

With love
