Pistachio Nut Layer Cake image

My cousin wanted a pistachio cake for her wedding, so rather than use boxed yellow cake mix and pistachio pudding mix, I opted for fresh pistachio nuts and came up with this delicious recipe! Frost with your choice of frosting.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 ounces shelled pistachio nuts
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pulse pistachios in a food processor until finely ground.
  • Sift flour into a bowl. Combine milk, almond extract, salt, and vanilla extract in a second bowl. Combine vinegar and baking soda in a third bowl.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in pistachios. Add flour, alternating with the milk mixture, beating batter briefly after each addition. Gently fold vinegar mixture in to the batter; do not stir at this point. Pour batter into two 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 30 minutes, before frosting with your choice of frosting.
