Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 5 eggs; 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar; 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract; 1/2 cup (125 ml) cake flour; 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking powder; 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted pistachios, finely chopped; 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter, melted; 3 egg yolks; 3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar; 1/2 cup (125 ml) water; 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and softened; 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

Preparation

- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a 43 x 31-cm (17 x 12-inch) baking sheet with parchment paper. Butter the sides of the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer for 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, sift the flour and baking powder. With a spatula, fold into the previous mixture. Fold in the pistachios and butter. Spread the batter on the baking sheet. Bake for 13 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
- Right out of the oven, flip the cake onto a parchment paper sprinkled with sugar. Remove the baking parchment paper. Roll the cake onto itself and let cool to room temperature.
5. Buttercream
- Place the egg yolks in large bowl. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the sugar and water to a boil. Simmer until a candy thermometer reads 105 °C (220 °F) and the mixture forms a thick syrup, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Pour the hot syrup in a stream over the egg yolks while beating with an electric mixer. Beat until completely cooled, about 15 minutes. Add the butter, a few pieces at a time, continuing to beat until the mixture is very smooth. Add the vanilla.
- Unroll the cake and cover it with buttercream. Roll back again. Refrigerate for about twenty minutes and serve.
