Pistachio Cake

A tender, nutty cake perfect for afternoon tea or a cozy dessert, featuring rich butter and ground pistachios for a moist crumb.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ground pistachios
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a cake pan.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and ground pistachios in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in vanilla extract. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter and eggs for a smoother batter. Store wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for 4–5 days.
