Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely ground, but be careful not to turn them into paste.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. One at a time, add the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk until just combined. Fold in the ground pistachios gently.
  7. Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, being gentle to avoid breaking them too much.
  8. Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. If desired, frost the cake with a simple cream cheese frosting or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
