Buttery Pistachio Cake image

If you are using salted pistachios then omit the 1/4 teaspoons salt. This cake is even better if made a day ahead, cover and store at room temperature. You can also bake the cake in an 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish lined with parchment paper, and increase the cardamon slightly. Make this cake, it's buttery fantastic!

Time 30m

Yield 1 (13x9-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup shelled pistachios (heaping)
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup full-fat milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup butter, softened (no substitutes!)
1 1/4 cups sugar (can use less)
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees (second-lowest oven rack).
  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, line bottom with parchment paper, then dust with flour, shaking out any excess flour out of pan.
  • Pulse the pistachio nuts in a food processor until finely ground (careful not to over-grind them into a paste).
  • Add in 1 cup flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt; pulse one or two times to combine.
  • In a cup whisk together the milk and vanilla.
  • In a bowl beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy (about 4-5 minutes, this is important, must beat/mix for 4-5 minutes!).
  • Add in eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.
  • Alternately add in the pistachio/flour mixture and milk on low speed of mixer JUST until combined.
  • Transfer the batter into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for about 20-22 minutes, or until cake tests done.
  • Cool for about 10 minutes, then run a knife around edges of cake to loosen, invert onto a rack, or slice the cake from the pan.
  • Serve warm or room temperature.
