Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rye flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Pistachios and Cherries

    Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and dried cherries until evenly distributed in the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. 8

    Once cooled, slice and serve the cake as is or with mascarpone cheese on top.
