Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted pistachios (shelled and unsalted)
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder (gluten-free)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the pistachios in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a fine meal, not pistachio butter.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the ground pistachios, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until well combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure a tender cake texture.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar if desired, slice, and serve. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free pistachio cake!
