Now fold in the flour mixture in 3 additions and milk in two batches alternately,...starting and ending with the flour mixture.

Prepare two 6”cake tins by lining them with parchment papers.Pour the batter equally into the 2 pans and bake in a preheated oven at 180 C for 25-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.My cakes took 23-24 minutes.This might vary with ovens and pans used.

5.Dulce de leche-200 gm

Cream Cheese-5-6 triangles

Beat the room temperature butter for 2-3 minutes until creamy.Add the dulce de leche and beat again till light & fluffy.Add the cream cheese and continue beating till fluffy.Dulce de leche Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting is ready.

6.Sugar Syrup-1/4-1/2 cup

Apply 2 tbsp of the frosting to the cake board and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Now place one of the pistachio cake on the center and sprinkle some sugar syrup over the cake.Place some frosting over the cake and spread it evenly with a palate knife.

Place the second cake over it and evenly spread some frosting over the cake and to the sides and smoothen it with a palate knife to crumb coat it.Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

I filled the remaining frosting into a piping bag.After 30 minutes I frosted the cake using the basket weave nozzle on the sides of the cake and sprinkled some sliced pistachios to decorate the top

Keep the cake refrigerated overnight and place it out half an hour before you want to cut it.
