Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan) or 180°C (conventional) and line a springform cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blitz raw shelled pistachios, flour, and sugar until finely mixed. Add vegan butter and pulse until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt into a bowl, ensuring no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, combine soy milk and apple cider vinegar, stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Process raw pistachios and granulated sugar until fine and powdery.
- Beat vegan butter and the pistachio-sugar mixture until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the dairy-free yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the creamed butter until well incorporated.
- Add vegan buttermilk and sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately, mixing gently.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared springform pan, spread vegan pistachio cream on top, followed by the remaining batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with additional pistachio icing before serving.
