Would this work as well with brazil nuts, walnuts etc....or a mixture of them?

[@deepashreekempegowda8146]

Can we do it in a single pan??

[@sammansfield21]

@@deepashreekempegowda8146 it probably wouldn't bake thoroughly enough. If you only have 1 of that size, it would be best to bake 2 halves separately 😊

I like that you're specific with things like ingredient temperatures and other little things most bakers overlook. The cake looks amazing by the way. 👍🏻

Thank you MK!! ❤ I will definitely follow your recipe. 👏🏼

I baked it last week for my colleagues, it was amazing, very fluffy and frosting was delicious. I used two 10-inc pan I instead and added 300 gram pistachio instead os 175, and the result was unbelievable. Many thanks for your great recipe.

[@rodac7390]

Omg! I was just looking for a recipe for pistachio cake yesterday. Thank you! Will definitely be making this soon.

[@purplemia469]

Hey! Great recipe! Unpopular opinion but I think 50 grams of spinach that is pureed into a paste can be added to the cake batter. This way it becomes naturally green and it adds extra moisture🥰

You’re onto something…

YES!!! I have been waiting for this...pistachios are my favorite, and your recipes are the absolute best so I can't wait to try this 💚

Made it and love it. Didn’t have cake pans so made cupcakes and baked for 20 minutes. I don’t recall ever baking a cake and this came out incredibly tasty, moist and delicious!!

[@Farhat-fw1jo]

Hi can I ask how many cupcakes you made with this recipe please and the temperature you baked them. Many thanks

[@saraperez942]

Yes, the recipe made 2 dozen using regular size cupcake cups and baked at 350. Also check them at about the 15 minute mark but mine took about 20 minutes
