Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round cake pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well-combined and slightly frothy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Sift almond flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture, then gently fold until no lumps remain, forming a thick batter.
- Fold in the chopped, toasted pistachios until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center is mostly set but still jiggles slightly.
- Prepare the glaze by mixing lemon juice and sugar in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, spoon the lemon glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in, and sprinkle additional toasted pistachios on top.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve at room temperature.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing. Toast the pistachios for enhanced flavor and crunch.
