Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Pistachios (unsalted, shelled)
- 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Additional erythritol sweetener (for frosting)
- 0.25 cup Pistachios (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 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 large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, ground pistachios, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 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.
While the cake is cooling, make the frosting by beating together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and additional erythritol sweetener until smooth and fluffy.
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the mascarpone frosting evenly over the top.
Garnish with chopped pistachios.
Slice the cake into 12 pieces and serve. Enjoy your Keto Pistachio Cake!
