  • Decadent texture from the pistachio crumble
  • Rich, nutty flavor that stands out
  • Perfect for special occasions or everyday indulgence
  • Easy to prepare with simple ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

How to Make Pistachio Crumble Cake with Cream

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in half of the chopped pistachios into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the remaining pistachios evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, top it generously with whipped cream and additional chopped pistachios if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure your butter is softened for easy creaming.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; it should be just combined for a tender cake.
  • For an added crunch, toast the pistachios lightly before using them in the crumble.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute almond flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a deeper nutty flavor.
  • Add a layer of berry jam between the cake and whipped cream for a fruity twist.
  • Experiment with different nuts like walnuts or hazelnuts for a unique crumble.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh berries or a berry compote
  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream
  • Espresso or coffee for a delightful pairing
  • A drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent touch

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The whipped cream can be made fresh or stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best results, serve the cake at room temperature, and re-whip the cream if necessary before serving.
