Instructions
- Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees. To prepare a loaf pan measuring 9 inches by 5 inches, grease it with butter and line it with parchment paper.
- The butter and sugar should be mixed together in a large bowl using a handheld mixer until the mixture is completely incorporated and light in colour, which should take about two to three minutes. Mix in the ricotta until it becomes airy and light, which should take about four to five minutes.
- One egg at a time, beat in the eggs until they are completely incorporated. You should then add the zest of one orange and stir everything together.
- To make the mixture, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl and whisk them together. You should add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and beat it until it is almost completely combined. Both the mini chocolate chips and the pistachios should be folded in.
- Once the pan has been greased and lined, pour the batter into it, and if you so desire, sprinkle it with additional mini chocolate chips. The loaf should be baked on the middle rack of the oven for sixty-five to seventy-five minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the loaf becomes clean.
- Wait approximately fifteen minutes for the pan to cool, then use a knife to loosen the edges, and then lift out the cake with the assistance of parchment paper. Wait for the pound cake to completely cool down. Powdered sugar can be sprinkled on top if desired.
Notes
- Because this recipe produces a substantial amount of batter, you can use a standard bundt cake pan in its place if you do not possess a loaf pan of sufficient size. Just make sure to adjust the baking time and use a toothpick to determine whether or not the food is done.
