Pistachio Kunafa Mile High Cake

I was deeply sceptical of viral Dubai chocolate until I tasted the combination properly. Then I understood the fuss: pistachio, chocolate and that impossible kataifi crunch are dangerously good together. This cake is my way of making the idea feel generous, celebratory and properly Anges, with height, texture and enough pistachio to make restraint feel entirely unnecessary.
