If you have been following me for a while, you can tell that we enjoy anything with pistachios here in this house as I have a lot of pistachio based recipes in the blog.

I really loved this cake as it has just the right amount of sweetness and a strong flavor of pistachios as the quantity of pistachios is more than the flour. This cake is sure to become your favorite too, especially if you like pistachios. This is a dense cake and it resembles the famous Almond Cake in the blog, it has the same texture and is moist and it melts in the mouth.
