Step-by-Step Instructions for Pistachio Roll Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Grind pistachios to a fine consistency, then sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Beat the egg yolks with half the granulated sugar until thick and pale, adding in the vanilla, almond extract, vegetable oil, and food coloring.
- Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks, gradually adding the remaining sugar.
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture in three parts.
- Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the batter until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
- Invert the cake onto a towel dusted with sugar, then carefully roll it while still warm and let cool.
- Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and mix mascarpone with powdered sugar and pistachio paste until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture and chill.
- Unroll the cooled cake, spread the filling evenly, and roll it back up tightly, refrigerating for at least an hour.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
