Ingredients
- 3/4 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
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup whole milk shopping list

- 1 cup sugar shopping list
- 3 large eggs shopping list
- *******If you are using salted pistachios, omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt in the ingredient shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
