Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup finely ground pistachios (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

How to Make Pistachio Crumble Cake with Cream

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour 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.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and finely ground pistachios.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. 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.
  8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.
  9. Once the cake has cooled completely, top it generously with the whipped cream and sprinkle with chopped pistachios for garnish.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Use fresh pistachios for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and airy.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the whipped cream to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute almond flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a nuttier flavor.
  • Add a layer of raspberry or strawberry jam between the cake and whipped cream for a fruity twist.
  • Drizzle with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh berries, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a pop of color and flavor.
  • A cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the cake.
  • A scoop of vanilla or pistachio ice cream for an extra creamy touch.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The whipped cream may lose its texture, so it’s best added fresh when serving. You can also freeze the cake (without the whipped cream) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
