pistachio cake
My husband and I love this simple cake.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This light and lovely pistachio cake has just the right amount of delicious, nutty pistachio flavor. Chopped pecans add an additional nuttiness and crunch to the cake. On top is a sweet and creamy icing. Instant pudding mix in the cake and the icing give this dessert that traditional pistachio green color and flavor. Add some chopped pistachios on top to give this cake a beautiful presentation.
