Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 cup Chopped pistachios
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.75 cup Erythritol or granulated sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Pistachio essence or extract
• 1 cup Whipping cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, chopped pistachios, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and pistachio essence until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until you get a homogeneous batter.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

For serving, optionally whip the cream until soft peaks form and use as a topping for the cake.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your low carb pistachio cake, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream.
