  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 16 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ground pistachios
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pistachios, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients while gently stirring with a rubber spatula until just combined; some lumps are acceptable.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
