Blackberry Pistachio Cake — Three Layers, Two Sizes
The most ambitious cake we make. And the one people ask about afterwards.
Most celebration cakes are one flavor doing one thing. This is three doing three: a blackberry cake, layered with pistachio cream, and finished in espresso.
It's the cake we put on the menu because we wanted to make it, and it's stayed because people keep ordering it.
How it's built
- Three layers of blackberry cake — blackberry through the batter, not just on the outside
- Pistachio cream buttercream between every layer — real pistachio, creamed
- Crushed pistachios in each layer too — so there's texture in the middle, not just on top
- Finished with espresso buttercream — and the espresso is ours, made with Northern Ontario coffee beans roasted fresh for us by Rose N Crantz Roasting Co
- Belgian white chocolate
- Crushed pistachios over the top
The espresso is the part that surprises people. It's bitter and grown-up against the blackberry, and it's the reason this cake doesn't taste like a birthday cake.
Two sizes
- 6 inch — $135 · feeds 6 to 8
- 8 inch — $210 · feeds 10 to 15
The 8-inch is the better value — 56% more money for 67 to 88% more cake, which works out cheaper per person than the 6-inch. If your table is anywhere near ten people, size up.
Why it's worth the price
- It's genuinely three flavors. Most cakes at this price are one flavor with a fancy finish. This is blackberry, pistachio and espresso, all doing something.
- Pistachio is expensive, and we don't skimp it. It's in every layer as well as on top. That's the single biggest reason this cake costs what it costs — and it's why a cheap pistachio cake usually tastes like almond.
- The coffee is named. Rose N Crantz roast for us in Thunder Bay. It's the same coffee we serve in the restaurant, and it's not something a supermarket bakery can put on a cake.
- Belgian white chocolate, not a compound coating.
- Each cake is made for your date. Nothing is sitting in a fridge waiting for a buyer.
