Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup raw pistachios shelled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8-inch cake tin and line it with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, grind the raw pistachios until they form a coarse flour. Be careful not to over-process, as this could result in pistachio butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until these ingredients are well mixed.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring constantly until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake tin. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
