Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 175ºC.
Take the butter out of the fridge, cut into cubes and let it come up to room temperature.
Pour the cake mix into a large bowl and beat the eggs in another bowl.
Grease the cake tin or line it with parchment paper.

Add the butter, 5 tsp sugar and eggs to the cake mix. Use an electric mixer to combine into a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes (see Tip).
When the cake is done, set it aside and allow to cool down completely.

Tip: after 35 minutes, check whether the cake is ready by piercing it with a skewer; the cake is done if the skewer comes out clean.

Roughly chop the pistachios.
Roll the pomegranate over the countertop to release the seeds, then cut it open and scoop them out.
Place half of the pomegranate seeds in a sieve and crush them to release the juice into a small bowl.
Add the powdered sugar and 1.5 tbsp of pomegranate juice to another small bowl. Mix together to make the glaze.

Pour the pomegranate glaze on top of the cake and allow it to drip on the sides.
Use the rest of the pomegranate seeds and the pistachios to create a heart shape on top of the cake.
