Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups (260g) unsalted pistachios (out of shells)
2 and 1/3 cups (275g) cake flour (spoon & leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 and 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
5 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup (120g) sour cream, at room temperature*
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup (240ml) whole milk, at room temperature*
cream cheese frosting
optional: 1 tiny drop green food coloring*
optional: garnishes such as berries and leftover pistachios

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour three 9-inch cake pans.
  • Pulse the pistachios in a food processor until ground up into very fine crumbs. See photo above for a visual. You'll have about 1 and 1/2 cups of crumbs. (If you have more than that, set aside for garnish.)
  • Pour 1 and 1/2 cups of pistachio crumbs in a large bowl. Whisk in the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the egg whites on high speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients until just incorporated. With the mixer still running on low, pour in the milk (and the green food coloring, if using) and mix just until combined. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
  • Pour batter evenly into cake pans. Bake for around 21-23 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
  • Prepare the cream cheese frosting (see note below).
  • Using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand, cake turntable, or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and evenly cover the top with more frosting. Top with the third cake layer. Spread the frosting all over the top and sides. (I used a bench scraper to smooth out the sides.) Decorate with garnishes, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 30-45 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake keep its shape when cutting.
  • Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.

Provided by Leanne

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 package yellow cake mix
1 package pistachio pudding mix
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup oil

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together.
  • Pour into a greased bundt pan.
  • Bake at 350 for about 45-50 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pistachios: The quality of your pistachios will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Look for pistachios that are fresh, brightly colored, and free of blemishes.
  • Toast the pistachios: Toasting the pistachios will enhance their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the cake: The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a simple glaze to enhance the flavor of the cake: A simple glaze made with powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract is a great way to add a touch of sweetness and shine to your cake.

Conclusion:

Pistachio cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed year-round. With its delicate flavor and beautiful green color, it's a perfect choice for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, give this pistachio cake recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
