Directions
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
- 2Line a 20-cm/8-in square tin with baking paper, allowing excess to overhang the edges.
- 3In a food processor, blend 100g pistachios until they have a mostly fine, dusty texture. Set some aside for decoration.
- 4In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 5In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
- 6Sift the dry ingredients into the wet, and mix together to incorporate, being careful not to overmix.
- 7Add the ground pistachios to the batter and stir until just combined.
- 8Pour the batter into the prepared tin and spread it evenly.
- 9Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the tin.
- 10For the frosting, whisk together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth.
- 11Once the cake is cool, spread the frosting generously over the top.
- 12Sprinkle with the reserved pistachios and more lemon zest.
- 13Cut into 9 even portions and serve.
