Pistachio Lime Bundt Cake
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
  • 4 eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp pistachio or almond extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 cup milk
  • ¼ tsp salt


For the Glaze:
  • 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
  • Juice of two limes
  • 1 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup chopped pistachios

Procedure
Using a food processor, pulse the pistachios ½ cup at a time until finely ground.

Preheat the oven to 350F/180C and liberally butter and flour a 12 cup Bundt pan.

In a small bowl whisk together the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set Aside

Beat the butter and sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time for 4-5 mins until they are well combined. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture and sour cream/milk alternately, ending with the flour until just incorporated. Add the batter to the prepared pan, leveling out the top with the spatula.

Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes; then invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.

Make the lime glaze by whisking together confectioner’s sugar, lime juice, and corn syrup, Adding the lime juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, to reach desired consistency. Drizzle this icing over the Bundt cake and sprinkle it with chopped pistachios. Enjoy!
