Pistachio Nut Cake Recipe

Pistachio Nut Cake Recipe

  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 ounces pistachio nuts, crushed
  • 2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 (16 ounce) can white frosting
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix milk, almond extract, salt, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl.
  3. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in pistachio nuts. Add flour to the creamed butter mixture alternately with the milk mixture, stirring batter well after each addition.
  4. Mix vinegar and baking soda together in a small bowl. Fold into the batter. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
  6. Spread white frosting between cake layers. Stack layers; frost top and sides of cake.
