I was skeptical about making this cake as I’ve tried it once before in a cake shop and my experience wasn’t that great. It just tasted so wet, cold and I couldn’t really taste any pistachios, I wasn’t keen. The reason why I decided to make it is for the visitors we had round, who I went to have the cake with, they absolutely love this cake!! so I thought I would make it to surprise them.<\/p>\n

This cake was really fun to make, straight forward and simple. You need will to ground the pistachios so bear that in mind. I loved making the holes in the cake to add the milk mixture which was different. <\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised<\/em> that I actually really enjoyed<\/strong> this cake, you could taste the pistachios, the cake wasn’t too wet and spicy notes of cardamon brought it all together. I would be making this cake again despite my initial experience. Maybe their cake needs improving! <\/p>\n
