Ingredients:
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
For the Almond Glaze:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp almond milk
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, almond flour, vanilla extract, chopped pistachios, and granulated sugar. Mix until well blended.
3. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. While the cake is baking, prepare the almond glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, almond milk, and almond extract in a small bowl until smooth.
6. Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Drizzle the almond glaze over the cooled cake before serving.
