A delightful Pistachio Raspberry Cake that combines the nutty flavor of pistachios with the tartness of fresh raspberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and chopped
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped pistachios and raspberries, being careful not to break the raspberries too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider drizzling a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice over the cooled cake.
- You can substitute the raspberries with blueberries or strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
