Deliciously easy Pistachio Cake made from scratch. This soft and tender Pistachio Cake is an easy, no-mixer recipe made using real pistachio nuts. Dust it with icing sugar or pair it with the creamy, four-ingredient, blackberry mascarpone cream frosting.
A soft and tender, one layer Pistachio Cake made from scratch. This gorgeous cake is filled with ground pistachios and is topped with a cloud-like, blackberry mascarpone cream frosting.
It’s surprisingly moist and stays that way for days, making it the perfect make-ahead cake for easy entertaining. And it tastes better than any cake mix!
It’s now my go-to cake for morning or afternoon tea.
