Pistachio-Cherry Cake

Pistachio Cherry Cake with cherries on top on marble background.
By Holly Wulff Petersen

Pistachios are my favorite nut; I can very easily work my way through a whole bag, leaving a trail of broken shells as evidence, so naturally this is a cake I make quite often. As a result of the high nut-to-flour ratio, you end up with a cake that has slightly crisp-chewy edges and a squidgy middle. And with the juicy cherries running all the way through, this makes for a perfect teatime treat.
