Quick, easy, and not overly sweet, this cake works both as a tasty treat on its own or as a follow up to a hearty dinner, when you're not looking for something heavy and filling.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup shelled natural pistachios (4 ounces) shopping list
- 1 cup all-purpose flour shopping list
- 2 teaspoons baking powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom shopping list
- ¼ teaspoon salt shopping list
- ½ cup whole milk shopping list
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 1½ sticks (¾ cup) unsalted butter, softened shopping list
- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
How to make it
- If you are using salted pistachios, omit the ¼ teaspoon salt in the ingredient list.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 13- by 9-inch metal cake pan, then line bottom with wax paper. Butter paper and dust pan with some flour, knocking out excess.
- Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground (be careful not to overprocess into a paste).
- Add 1 cup flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt and pulse once or twice to mix.
- Combine milk and vanilla in a measuring cup.
- Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
- Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Alternately add pistachio flour and milk in batches, beginning and ending with flour, and mix at low speed until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in cake pan and bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around sides of cake and invert onto rack.
- Remove paper and reinvert cake onto a platter. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Cake can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely and keep, covered, at room temperature.
