Lemon, Coconut, and Pistachio Cake

This Lemon, Coconut, and Pistachio Cake is moist, hardy, and hearty full of coconut and lemon flavor. Pistachios add a nutty depth of flavor to the cake and a pop of color and crunch on top. It is dangerously good with a cup of coffee. Top it with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh raspberries and it could make a great Easter dessert.

Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease the paper and flour the pan.
step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup) and Granulated Sugar (1 cup). Beat on medium speed for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
step 3
With the mixer on medium speed, add the Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Eggs (3) one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition. Beat for one more minute, until the batter is pale and thick.
step 4
In a medium bowl, sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/4 cups), Baking Powder (1/2 tsp), Kosher Salt (1/2 tsp), and Baking Soda (1/4 tsp). Add the Unsweetened Shredded Coconut (1/4 cup) and set aside.
step 5
Place the Shelled Unsalted Pistachios (1/3 cup) in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. Remove 1 1/2 tablespoons and set aside for garnish. Continue processing until the pistachios are very finely ground. Measure to make sure you have 1/4 cup, and add it to the bowl with the dry ingredients.

step 6
In another bowl, combine Full-Fat Coconut Milk (1/2 cup), zest and 3 Tbsp juice from Lemons (2), and Vanilla Extract (1/2 tsp). Add the wet and dry mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Do not overmix.
