Every now and then I get the hankering for something that is sweet and that has a unique combination of flavors, especially during the winter months when each day seems to melt into the next. My search for a new recipe usually begins with the paging through the contents of my old cookbooks, unfortunately this usually leads to a dead end. After all I have paged through my cookbooks hundreds of times before. My next option is to talk with friends and colleagues to see if they have a special recipe hidden away that I might enjoy.
A few days ago a colleague passed on this delicious recipe created by Carol Meyner, M.D. It combines two of my favorite ingredients, chocolate and pistachios. If you are looking for an alternative to brownies and regular chocolate cake then try out this recipe.
Chocolate Pistachio cake
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour 12 cup Bundt pan.
In a mixing bowl (I used my food processor) combine cake and pudding mix, liquids (except the choc syrup) and eggs at low speed until moist. Beat for an additional 3 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally until well blended.
Pour about half the batter into the Bundt pan. Add the chocolate syrup to the remainder of the batter. Mix well.
Pour over the batter in the pan. Run a knife through it to marbleize it.
Bake for 1 hour.
Allow cake to cool in pan for 15 minutes. Loosen it with a blunt knife, Invert on serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

There are a lot of ways to enjoy chocolate. If you have an aversion to dairy products than replace regular milk with soy milk. You won’t miss the dairy.
