Pistachio pineapple cake is a delicious dessert that combines the flavors of pistachios and pineapple. It typically consists of a moist pistachio-flavored cake base layered with pineapple filling and frosted with a creamy frosting. Here’s a general recipe to help you get started:
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– Additional crushed pistachios for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
