Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted shelled pistachios
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. You can also lightly dust it with flour.
  • In a food processor, pulse the pistachios until finely ground but still a little chunky.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and light in color, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream and milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold the ground pistachios into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute sour cream with plain yogurt for a slightly tangier flavor.
  • For a more intense pistachio flavor, add a few drops of pistachio extract.
  • For extra flair, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
