Ingredients
  

1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

½ cup diced pineapple for garnish

Optional: Whipped cream and chopped pistachios for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the finely ground pistachios, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

        Add Eggs and Flavor: Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Start and finish with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

            Incorporate Pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Decorate: Once cooled, you can top the cake with whipped cream, garnish with the diced pineapple, and sprinkle extra chopped pistachios on top for a beautiful presentation.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve the Pistachio Pineapple Cake fresh. Enjoy each delightful bite of this moist, flavorful cake!
