pistachio cake

(this cake is pretty quick, about 15-20 minutes active time).

pistachio cake

1/2 cup pistachios
1/3 cup white, whole-wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/4 cup whole milk
a dash of vanilla
1/4 stick butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Add the flour and the pistachios in a food processor, and pulse the pistachios until a light powder forms, but there are still bits large enough to add texture to the cake. Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and mix well.

Add the milk and vanilla, followed by the flour and pistachio mixture, the cardamom, and the baking powder. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Place the batter in a 4 inch cake pan. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

Serve the pistachio cake drizzled with honey (preferably, orange blossom honey).
