Vanilla Cherry Pistachio Cake
This Vanilla Cherry Pistachio Cake is easy to make and pairs well with tea/coffee. Or else, serve a slice with a scoop of ice-cream for dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup- All-purpose flour/Maida
- 1½tsp- Baking powder
- ¾ cup- Caster Sugar/White powdered sugar
- ¼ cup- Vegetable oil/Olive oil
- 1- Egg
- ½ cup Milk
- 1½ tsp- Vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp- White vinegar
- ¼ cup, cut into halves lengthwise- Cherries
- 2 tbsp- Pistachio (roughly chopped), or use any other nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans or walnuts)
Instructions
-
Before I start, all the ingredients were at room temperature.
-
Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Mix milk and vinegar, keep aside for 5 mins.
-
In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder).
-
In another bowl mix oil and sugar, add in the egg and vanilla essence, whisk well. Add milk + vinegar mixture into this, mix again.
-
Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk gently to form a lump-free batter.
-
Pour the batter into a greased 8″ tart pan. Tap the cake pan gently on the kitchen counter a couple of times to release the air bubbles. Spread the cherries and the pistachios on top.
-
Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the baked cake in the tart pan itself. When cooled cut the Vanilla Cherry Pistachio Cake into slices & serve.

Can I add saffron in this recipie ? And instead of cherry what other things can be added?
Hi Shivani, Yes, you can add saffron. You can add any dry fruits of your choice if not using the glazed cherries.
