How to Make Pistachio And Almond Cake With Orange Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a 4x8 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a food processor, finely grind pistachios and almonds. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Add lemon zest and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  5. Gradually add the ground nuts to the mixer on low speed, mixing until just incorporated.
  6. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  9. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cake is cooling, prepare the orange salad: Remove the peel and pith from the oranges. Slice oranges into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  12. Gently heat the marmalade in a saucepan over low heat for 3 minutes, or until syrupy.
  13. Stir in the orange juice and lemon juice. Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin the marmalade to a vinaigrette consistency. Set aside to cool.
  14. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  15. Cut the cooled cake into slices and place them on a baking sheet.
  16. Bake for 5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until warmed and slightly toasted.
  17. To serve, arrange orange slices on plates, drizzle with marmalade syrup. Place warm cake slices next to the oranges.
  18. Top with a dollop of yogurt (optional) and a few chopped pistachios.
  19. Serve immediately.
