Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Fold in the finely ground pistachios and sifted flour gently into the mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Bake the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is set with a golden crust on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack. Once cooled, slice and serve as desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, toast the pistachios lightly before grinding.
- You can dust the finished cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze for added sweetness.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and rise.
