Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted pistachios (shelled)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Ground pistachios (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are covered.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the shelled pistachios until they are finely ground, but not a paste.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the ground pistachios. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 5

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract and almond extract until combined.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry mix. Blend until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 11

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Add a bit more milk if the glaze is too thick.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake and sprinkle the ground pistachios on top for garnish.

Step 13

Slice and serve the cake, enjoying its rich, nutty flavor!
