Critical Success Points

  • Whisk eggs for a full 2 minutes to incorporate air.
  • Bake until the knife comes out moist but clean; over‑baking dries the sponge.
  • Fry the kadaif over medium heat, stirring constantly, until uniformly golden.
  • Allow the ganache to rest before adding the white‑chocolate‑pistachio mixture to achieve marbling.
  • Torch the ring before demoulding to release the cake cleanly.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven and boiling cream with care to avoid burns.
  • Use the kitchen torch only in a well‑ventilated area; keep flammable materials away.
  • Sharp knives are used when chopping kadaif and demoulding.
