The Ultimate Orange Blossom Pistachio Cake Recipe

Orange Blossom Pistachio Cake

Today, I’m excited to share a unique dessert recipe that is perfect for brightening up any day. This orange blossom pistachio cake is a delightful treat that combines floral notes with nutty flavors for a truly special dessert experience.

I begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 150g sugar
• 100g chopped pistachios
• 150g unsalted butter
• 3 eggs
• 120ml milk
• 2 tbsp orange blossom water
• 1 tsp baking powder
• a pinch of salt

Next, I gather my kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• round cake pan
• oven
• cooling rack

To start, I preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, I cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. I then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, I combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped pistachios. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Finally, I stir in the orange blossom water to infuse the batter with a delicate floral aroma. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Serve slices of this fragrant orange blossom pistachio cake with a cup of tea for a delightful treat.

This orange blossom pistachio cake weighs approximately 800g after baking and serves 8. Each serving is around 100g and has an estimated calorie count of 300.

A unique tip for this recipe is to garnish the cake with additional chopped pistachios and a drizzle of honey for added texture and flavor.

I hope you give this delicious orange blossom pistachio cake a try and enjoy its wonderful combination of flavors. Feel free to experiment with different nuts or citrus flavors to make it your own! Let me know how it turns out for you.
