Gluten-Free Pistachio Cake
Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 cups shelled pistachios
– 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1/4 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, as you want a slightly coarse texture for added crunch in the cake.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground pistachios, gluten-free flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
4. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the Greek yogurt and milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, you can enjoy the pistachio cake as is or dust the top with powdered sugar or a simple glaze for a touch of sweetness.
