Pistachio & Chocolate Chip Tea Loaf

March 1, 2014Recipes, Sweet
+1

You may know it, but in case you missed it… the 26th of February was International Pistachio Day! And how could I not make something special for the event? Eh? Here we go again, then, with a delicious pistachio & chocolate chip tea loaf cake.

Pistachio & Chocolate Chip Tea Loaf

NGREDIENTS

  • 200g of plain flour
  • 180g of sunflower spread (or butter)
  • 200g of sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • a few drops of vanilla essence
  • 100g of grounded pistachios
  • 50g of dark chocolate chips  

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Mix well the sugar and eggs, until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the flour, the melted spread/butter – depends on you – the vanilla and baking powder and mix well. If the dough looks too dense, add some milk, a tiny little bit at the time so you don’t create the opposite problem.

Finally add the pistachios and chocolate chip and place the dough in a tea loaf tin, covered with baking paper, and cook for 40 minutes, or until well cooked. It will shrink a bit from the sides, that is when it’s cooked! Leave it to cool on a cooling rack. The result is a wonderful pistachio & chocolate chip tea loaf.

The teapot is from a nice little shop in Camden Town, you can find it here.

    This looks amazing! I love pistaschio! They are my favourite flavour of cookie and this looks fab! I’ll pin it for later so I can remember to make it. Thanks for sharing Simona!

    Ahh take me back to the sun aging and warm days pl Ahh take me back to the sun aging and warm days please! ☀️☀️☀️  I know March will be heavy on rain, like every year, but anyone else is already tired of it and wants some sunshine? We surely do.  So here is a throwback to our walks to Hampstead Heath, on a warm sunny day.  Gosh, how many times can one say sun? 😂 😂
