Pistachio Cake Ingredients

Method

Pistachio Cake Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine with Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Fold in Pistachios

    Gently fold in the finely chopped pistachios until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve slices of the cake drizzled with caramel sauce, a scoop of GVG vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle with toasted pistachios.
