Preheat the oven to 355°F. Generously butter an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and foamy (3-4 minutes).
- 3
Gently pour in the lukewarm melted butter while continuing to whisk until well incorporated.
- 4
Sift the flour and baking powder together, then add to the mixture in two batches, folding gently with a spatula.
- 5
Fold in the pistachio paste until the batter is completely smooth.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
- 7
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a wire rack.

Once completely cooled, decorate the top with whole pistachios and confectioners' sugar if desired.
💡 Chef's Tip
To intensify the flavor, drizzle a little extra pistachio paste in a zigzag pattern over the batter before baking. Check the cake a few minutes before the end of the indicated time to avoid overbaking.
