Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  2. In a food processor, blend the pistachio nuts until finely ground.
  3. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
