Pistachio Cake with Orange Segments
Report
This lovely pistachio cake uses ground pistachios to permeate the tender, moist cake with its delicious nutty flavor. We like it with a spoonful of citrus, but it also goes well with ice cream or whipped cream.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Trace the circumference of a 9" round cake pan on a piece of parchment paper and cut out the circle. Spray the pan with vegetable spray. Lay the parchment paper on the bottom of the pan and spray again. Set aside.
- Using food processor (I used my 3 cup mini-prep), pulse pistachios until finely ground, about 40 seconds. Don't over-process or you'll get a nut butter.
- Add flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt and pulse a few times to combine.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (1 1/2-2 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and alternate adding pistachio mixture and milk -- beginning and ending with pistachio mixture and beating just enough to combine. Add orange zest and vanilla and beat just to combine.
- Spread batter evenly in a pan and bake until wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean -- about 30-40 minutes.
- While cake is baking segment oranges and set aside in a small bowl.
- Cool in pan and on rack 10 minutes. Run a knife around cake to loosen from pan and invert onto rack. Peel off parchment paper.
- Can be served warm or room temperature. Serve a spoonful of orange segments alongside a slice of cake with any additional garnish you like!
