A deliciously moist and nutty Pistachio Cake made with ground pistachios, flour, eggs, sugar, and butter. This classic dessert offers a rich texture and subtle sweetness, perfect for celebrations or an indulgent afternoon treat.

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

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely ground pistachios, flour, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and frothy, then gradually add the melted butter. Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth, homogenous batter forms.
  2. Preheat the oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for approximately 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Avoid overbaking to maintain moisture.
  4. Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This pistachio cake can be served plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with whipped cream.

Notes

  • Grinding the pistachios finely helps create a better texture and integrates the nut flavor throughout the cake.
  • This cake stores well and tastes even better the next day after flavors have melded.
  • You can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a denser, more nutty result.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine.
