Ingredients:
250g butter - room temperature
250g caster sugar
100g pistachios, roasted but not salted
100g ground almonds
200g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
Zest of an orange
3 eggs
Passionfruit Icing
2 tbsp marmalade
50g butter - room temperature
150g cream cheese
75g icing sugar
2 passion fruit (or passion fruit curd)
1 tbsp Lizi's Passionfruit & Pistachio Granola

Method:
Butter and line 2 x 20cm cake tin. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C/160 fan.
Give the butter and sugar a really good mix with a handheld blender or a standalone mixer (if you've got one, lucky thing!)
Add pistachios, almonds, flour, baking powder, orange zest and the yoghurt. Give it a good beating, till everything is well mixed. Then add the eggs, one at a time
Pour the batter into the lined cake tin and put in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until a skewer comes out of the cake clean
Leave to cool and make the icing
With an electric whisk cream the butter until it is pale. Add the cream cheese, whisk some more and then whisk in the icing sugar
Cut the passion fruits in half, and sieve the juice into the icing. Add the orange juice too. Stir and then, using a knife, spread the icing on to the cake
Crumble the granola over the top for a yummy crunch!
