Ingredients

Scale

Sponge Batter

  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground pistachios (freshly ground recommended)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Pinch of salt

Pistachio Cream Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup finely ground pistachios

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the eggs and granulated sugar vigorously until the mixture is thick, pale, and tripled in volume, reaching the ribbon stage. Sift the all-purpose flour, then gently fold it with the ground pistachios into the egg mixture using a spatula to maintain the airy texture. Carefully fold in the melted butter and a pinch of salt for moisture and balance.
  2. Bake the Sponge: Pour the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and smooth the surface. Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the sponge is springy to the touch and just begins to turn golden on top.
  3. Roll the Sponge: As soon as you remove the sponge from the oven, turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper. While still warm, gently roll the sponge along with the towel inside and let it cool completely to hold its shape.
  4. Make the Pistachio Cream Filling: While the sponge cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold in finely ground pistachios to achieve the iconic green color and nutty flavor of the filling.
  5. Assemble the Roll Cake: Unroll the cooled sponge gently on a flat surface. Spread the pistachio cream filling evenly over the surface, then carefully roll the sponge back up tightly but neatly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.

Notes

  • Whisk eggs and sugar until reaching the ribbon stage for the lightest sponge.
  • Use gentle folding motions to preserve airiness in the batter and achieve fluffiness.
  • Roll the sponge while warm to avoid cracking during assembly.
  • Chill the assembled roll cake before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Use fresh, raw, unsalted pistachios for optimal flavor and color.
