- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the pistachio meal, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until everything is well blended and the batter is smooth.
Baking
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Place your cake in the oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before carefully transferring it to a serving plate.
- If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance just before serving.
Notes
Consider incorporating lemon zest or a touch of cardamom for enhanced flavor. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the cake beautifully.
