I am a nut fan and love playing with nuts when making cakes. And this pistachio cake recipe is one of the cakes I enjoy preparing.
This cake is pistachio flavorful. You can feel the aroma of rose water as you indulge in tasting a piece of this cake. And most importantly, this cake, one of the best healthy cake recipes, is moist and makes the best partner with tea or coffee, whether in the morning or in the afternoon.
I usually grind the pistachio that I want to add to the batter. However, I sometimes keep a few whole pistachios to add as well. You can quickly feel the pistachio flavor as you eat this cake. You should add a green food colorant to the batter if you want a green cake. However, this recipe does not include this ingredient!!
