Description
A delightful and moist Flourless Orange Pistachio Cake made with whole oranges and ground pistachios, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium oranges (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups ground pistachios (about 6 ounces)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Place the whole oranges in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour, until the oranges are soft. Drain and let them cool.
- Once cooled, cut the oranges in half and remove any seeds. Place the entire oranges (peel and all) in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the orange puree, ground pistachios, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense orange flavor, add the zest of one orange to the batter.
- Substitute ground almonds for pistachios for a different nutty flavor, or use a combination of both for added texture.
