Raspberry Pistachio Tea Cake: Short cut baking!

I don't have much time at home lately, ^^", so I think that I'm in the easy bake mode, haha. 

Actually I wish that I have enough time to make some entremets, something that takes about 3 days to make, hehe, but I want to bake anyway, so I tried my best to bake some easy and delicious sweet. This tea cake is very easy, just pour all the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until just combined, and you get a delicious tea time treat.
For me I really love the taste of pistachio and raspberry, every times that they are together, that sweet will be delicious. But you can change the taste of this tea cake into something that you like too, change into almond and strawberry is another great choice ^^.
Pack the tea cake into a box and enjoy it with a cup of tea (at your office, haha,) it will make you happy even in the busiest day of work.
