Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Raw unsalted pistachios
- 100 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until they are finely ground. Be careful not to over-process them into a paste.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground pistachios, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
