Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup pistachios, shelled
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a food processor, blend the pistachios until finely ground.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture.
  6. Fold in the ground pistachios and vanilla extract until well combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese.
  11. Place one layer of cake on a serving plate, spread a layer of the mascarpone whipped cream, and repeat with the remaining layers.
  12. Top the cake with any remaining whipped cream and garnish with chopped pistachios.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider toasting the pistachios before blending.
  • This cake pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea.
