Bake The Perfect Pistachio Cake At Home

Ingredients

– 1 cup shelled pistachios (unsalted) – 1 cup all-purpose flour – 1/2 cup almond flour – 1 tsp baking powder – 1/2 tsp salt – 1 cup sugar – 1/2 cup unsalted butter  – 3 large eggs – 1/2 cup milk – 1 tsp vanilla extract

Prep Your Pistachios

Grind pistachios into a fine powder. Set some aside for garnishing later.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground pistachios in a bowl.

Cream Butter And Sugar

Using your thumb, gently press into the center of each ball to create an indent. Fill each indent with a small spoonful of jam.

Combine Wet And Dry Mixtures

Add eggs  to the butter mixture, then mix in vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, alternating until smooth. Add food coloring for a vibrant green hue. Add some crushed pistachio.

Bake

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Garnish And Serve

Cool the cake and top with whipped cream or frosting. Sprinkle reserved pistachio powder for a nutty finish.
