Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when your batter is mixed.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and chopped pistachios to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the plant milk into the dry mixture and stir until just combined, making sure not to overmix to keep the cake light and tender.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan lightly with oil or vegan butter and pour the batter in, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake: Place the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your vegan pistachio coffee cake!

Notes

  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if desired to make it gluten-free.
  • For an extra pistachio flavor, sprinkle some chopped pistachios on top before baking.
  • Use any plant milk of your choice such as soy, almond, or oat milk.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
