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

  1. Before I start, all the ingredients were at room temperature.

  2. Preheat oven to 170 degrees C. Mix milk and vinegar, keep aside for 5 mins.

  3. In a bowl mix all the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder).

  4. In another bowl mix oil and sugar, add in the egg and vanilla essence, whisk well. Add milk + vinegar mixture into this, mix again.

  5. Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk gently to form a lump-free batter.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
