Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup pistachio flour (or finely ground pistachios)
  • 1 cup sugar (use coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free option)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 1/3 cup neutral oil (like sunflower or avocado oil)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional, for extra nuttiness)
  • 1 tsp instant espresso powder (optional, but adds depth)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter, cold and cubed (for crumb topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cake pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and chopped pistachios for the crumb topping. Add the cold vegan butter and mix until crumbly. Place in the fridge while you make the cake batter.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, pistachio flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, oil, vanilla extract, almond extract, and instant espresso powder. Stir until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the chilled crumb topping evenly over the batter.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Slice and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.’, ‘Use cold butter for the crumb topping to create the perfect texture.’, ‘If the cake is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.’, ‘This coffee cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together overnight.’]
