Step-by-Step Instructions for Vegan Pistachio Coffee Cake
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) for fan-convection or 180°C (356°F) for conventional baking. Line the bottom of your springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine raw shelled pistachios, all-purpose flour, and granulated sugar. Pulse until the mixture resembles a fine meal. Add chilled vegan butter and pulse until crumbly clumps form.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt in a mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Process raw pistachios with granulated sugar until finely ground, resembling flour.
- In a mixing bowl, beat room temperature vegan butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the pistachio-sugar mixture and whisk for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix the vegan Greek-style yogurt, vanilla extract, and almond extract into the creamed butter mixture until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the thickened buttermilk to the wet mixture, alternating with the sifted dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, spread the pistachio cream over this layer, and cover with the remaining batter. Sprinkle the pistachio crumble topping on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake sit in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix powdered sugar with a little water to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Accurate measuring of ingredients is crucial. Do not overmix for a light texture. Allow cooling completely before glazing.
