This Dubai chocolate cake is inspired by the irresistible combination of chocolate, pistachio and buttery toasted kataifi. You start by making a simple, moist chocolate cake, and then while that cake is baking and cooling, grind up some pistachios with butter and some sugar, and fold in some butter-toasted kataifi. The ganache is rich and delicious, and makes this cake look really elegant for a party. The last step is to sprinkle lots of beautiful green pistachios over the top.
