Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely ground pistachios
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup pistachio paste
Chopped pistachios for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 15×10 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until pale and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground pistachios. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Roll the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel. Let it cool completely.
Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and pistachio paste, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake: Unroll the cooled cake and spread the pistachio filling evenly over the surface. Roll the cake back up without the towel and place it seam-side down on a serving platter.
Garnish and Serve: Dust the top with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chopped pistachios before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
