    • 112 g unsalted butter, softened
    • 180 g granulated sugar
    • 50 g neutral oil
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • 60 g sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
    • 200 g all-purpose flour
    • 1¼ tsp baking powder
    • ¼ tsp baking soda
    • ¼ tsp salt
    • 125 g whole milk
    • 1 tsp white vinegar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Pistachio Filling

    • 90 g Nuuva Pistachio Spread
    • 30 g toasted kataifi pastry

    Chocolate Whipped Cream

    • 300 g heavy whipping cream
    • 90 g powdered sugar
    • 3 tbsp Dutch-process cocoa powder

    Decoration

    • Rainbow sprinkles
    • 4 paper sundae cups or similar molds

    Directions

      Step 1: Making the cakes

      1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line four paper sundae cups or similar baking molds.

      2. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the oil, then mix in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the sour cream.

      3. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.

      4. Mix the milk with the vinegar and vanilla extract.

      5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk mixture to the batter, mixing just until combined.

      6. Divide the batter evenly between the baking cups and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

      7. Allow the cakes to cool completely.

      Step 2: Making the fillings

      1. Prepare the fillings by folding the toasted kataifi into the Nuuva pistachio spread.

      2. Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar and cocoa powder until medium-stiff peaks form.

      Step 3: Getting the cake together

      1. Level the cakes if needed. Layer each cake with the pistachio filling and chocolate whipped cream.

      2. Coat the outside of each cake with whipped cream and completely cover with rainbow sprinkles.

      3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
