Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Instructions
- Prepare the Pistachios: Finely grind the shelled pistachios using a food processor or blender until they resemble coarse flour. This adds texture and rich flavor to the cake batter.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pistachios, flour, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and melted butter until well blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
- Bake the Cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is set around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for an even more nutty flavor.
- For extra moisture, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a tablespoon of yogurt to the batter.
- Ensure the pistachios are unsalted to maintain the cake’s sweetness balance.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with a dusting of powdered sugar or a light drizzle of honey before serving.
