Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup finely ground Pistachios
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 cup Fresh Raspberries
- 1 cup Cream Cheese, at room temperature
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- Additional Pistachios for garnish
- Whole Raspberries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans; line them with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to remove lumps.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a separate bowl, blend softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Combine the dry mixture and milk alternately with the creamed butter mixture; gently fold in raspberries and chopped pistachios.
- Pour the batter evenly between the prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the cream cheese frosting: Beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and incorporate heavy cream.
- Assemble the cake: Place one layer on a plate, spread frosting on top, sprinkle crushed pistachios, add the second layer, and coat the entire cake with remaining frosting.
- Decorate with whole raspberries and additional crushed pistachios.
Notes
To maintain the cake’s delightful texture, avoid overmixing the batter and ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting.
