Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour bundt pan.

  2. Mix all ingredients but chocolate syrup and beat for two minutes on medium-high. Pour 3/4 of the batter into the bundt pan.

  3. Add chocolate syrup to the remaining batter and mix well. Pour chocolate-laced batter on top of the pistachio batter.

  4. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.

  5. Note: You can use a knife to swirl chocolate batter into the pistachio batter for more of a marbled design.

  6. Variation: Coat cake with chocolate ganache!

Why this Pistachio Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Pistachio Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
