VEGAN COCONUT PISTACHIO LEMON CAKE
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
For the cake:
3/4 Cup almond flour
3/4 Cup coconut flour
2/3 Cup finely ground pistachios
1/3 Cup arrowroot starch
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 Cup coconut sugar
1/4 Cup olive oil
1/4 Cup lemon juice
1/4 Cup maple syrup
3/4 Cup cold water
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the lemon glaze:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Other ingredients:
chopped pistachio nuts, if desired
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8″ springform pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the coconut and almond flours, ground pistachios, arrowroot starch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice, syrup, water, and vanilla. Once combined, add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture.
Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth. If you’re batter is too thick, add about a tablespoon of water and mix in. Repeat until the batter is smooth. Note that the batter will always be thick.
Immediately pour the batter into the baking pan and transfer to the oven. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the cake cool for a few hours on a wire rack. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by whisking together the lemon juice and confectioners sugar. Set aside.
When the cake is at room temperature, pour the glaze on top and spread it gently to cover the entire area.
Top with chopped pistachios and place in the refrigerator to set for a couple of hours.
Enjoy!

This coconut pistachio lime cake looks absolutely delightful, the combination of citrusy lime, nutty pistachio, and coconut sounds so refreshing and well balanced. I especially like how simple yet elegant the recipe is, and that glaze really takes it to another level. It actually reminds me how versatile flavor pairings can be in both sweet and savory dishes. Even something like a Chicken Bihari Chatni Roll shows how a bold chutney can completely elevate a dish, just like the lime glaze does here. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful recipe!
This Coconut Pistachio Lime Cake looks absolutely stunning—the combination of coconut, pistachio, and lime is so fresh and unique, and that glaze really takes it over the top. I also like how it manages to feel light while still having a rich, satisfying texture. Also, I came across the phrase “Welding Safety Bundles” recently and it reminded me how unexpected combinations of ideas can be in completely different contexts, just like how these flavors come together in such a creative way. Either way, this recipe is definitely going on my list to try soon!
This coconut pistachio lime cake looks absolutely incredible, I love how the coconut and pistachio richness balances with that fresh lime zing. The texture from the nut flours and that glossy glaze really makes it feel like a bakery-style dessert you’d want to serve at brunch or a special gathering. I also like how simple yet thoughtful the flavor combination is; it feels both tropical and refreshing without being overly sweet. By the way, I recently came across something completely unrelated but oddly stuck in my head: Black & White Cotton Jersey Gloves. Definitely bookmarking this recipe to try soon!
