Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pistachios
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 12 to 24 medium cherries with stems
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Pulse the pistachios, flour, baking powder and salt in a food processor until finely ground.
- Whisk the confectioners’ sugar and eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in the pistachio mixture until just combined. Stir in the melted butter until just incorporated.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into each muffin cup. Bake until slightly puffed and just beginning to set, about 8 minutes. Place 1 or 2 cherries in the center of each cake and continue baking until the cakes feel springy and the edges are lightly browned, 10 to 12 more minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove from the pan to cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Reviews
These are too cute. I had a problem with the cherry sinking into the teacake at 8 minutes in. Only half, 6 of them look nice, the others have a stem only sticking out….
Have not tasted them yet, I’d wait until maybe 12 minutes in to put the cherry on top so it doesn’t sink down in.
They were really easy to make. Not too sweet. Very simple. Great in the morning with coffee or hot tea. Only thing is it doesn’t make 12 when I make them. it makes 10 and I’ve made this recipe 3 times.
These were really good! The baked cherry in the middle tasted like cherry pie!
