A Pistachio Cake recipe to beat them all, this is one of my favourite ways to enjoy that delicious green nut.

An easy to make, moist cake that has a good amount of ground pistachio meal in the cake itself and more pistachios used as decoration.

The original recipe calls for almond meal in the cake. If you’re a fan of pistachio cake like I am, you might want to adjust the quantity of almond meal so that the cake is more pistachio than almond. Works a treat.

I recommend the alternate topping suggested in the recipe that combines the exoticness of rose water, cinnamon, honey and pistachios. Heaven sent (and scent).
