Gluten free matcha pistachio cake!

This cake is naturally green from matcha and pistachios, magically gluten free while still being soft, fluffy, and delicious, and incredibly easy to make. The batter is all made in one bowl with no fancy equipment, and the whipped mascarpone frosting is made with a handful of really simple ingredients!

We dust the cake with some more crushed pistachios for the perfect extra little crunch on top of the light and fluffy mascarpone whipped frosting.

I love this cake so much. It’s such a fun cake to change things up at a gathering like Easter, Mother’s Day, or any springtime party. It’s pretty, nostalgic in flavor (think pistachio pudding without all the junk!), and perfect if you need a gluten free option on the table.

I can’t wait to see your remakes of this matcha pistachio cake! Be sure to tag me on Instagram so I can see yours, and leave a rating/review below if you have a minute to let us know what you think!! Enjoy and happy baking! xo

Description

Gluten free matcha pistachio cake with whipped mascarpone frosting!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp almond extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup lightly salted pistachios, finely ground in a blender (measure before grinding), plus more for topping cake
  • 1 + 3/4 cup gluten free all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp matcha tea powder

For the frosting:

  • 4 oz mascarpone
  • 1/2 heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the eggs, maple syrup, milk, butter, sugar, almond extract, and vanilla until smooth. ⠀
  3. Mix in the dry ingredients until almost no lumps remain (try not to over mix it). ⠀
  4. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 30-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean (bake time varies by oven). Remove and let cool for 10 minutes, then allow to completely on a cooling rack. ⠀
  5. Meanwhile, make your frosting. Use a hand mixer to mix on medium high for 3-5 minutes, until stiff peaks form. Be patient- it will be thinner first but will thicken up! Once cake is cooled, add frosting and crushed pistachios and slice/serve- store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

    I was reading a discussion about easy meal ideas and how people plan quick dinners after long days. Some shared simple recipes that don’t require many ingredients, while others talked about preparing food in advance. While browsing through the comments, I saved https://rt-bet.eu/
    to check later, then went back to reading more suggestions. It’s always interesting to discover new ideas while exploring different conversations.

    Hi again, I came across this during a random search session about India-based platforms. I opened http://stake-india-in.com/ and ended up spending more time than I planned. The layout was easy to understand, and I didn’t feel lost at any point, which made the whole experience quite relaxed.

    It is perfectly possible to replace traditional wheat flour with gluten-free flours such as almond flour, rice flour, or tap tap shots gluten-free oat flour.

    The live dealer section on https://glory-casino-pakistan.com/app/ is what keeps me coming back. As a Pakistani player, I appreciate having real-time baccarat, blackjack, and poker available anytime. The dealers are professional and the game pace is comfortable. I can see the cards being dealt, place my bets, and decide whether to hit or stand. Teen Patti is also there for when I want something familiar. No crazy promises – just honest live gameplay from my phone.

    When a free hour appears, I like to relax by playing a game of classic roulette. Recently, I discovered a portal that works flawlessly on any device. It turned out that https://www.cheshirecountyshow.org.uk/ offers the best conditions for playing live casino with professional dealers. Within the UK, it is hard to find a service that cares so much about the comfort of its customers. It is a perfect place for those who value the atmosphere of a real establishment in the UK.
