1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
2
Pulse pistachios in food processor until fine. (I like a bit more texture in mine so I don't get *too* fine)
-
3
*If you want you can set aside 1/4 cup of pistachio to dust the top of your cake with.
-
4
Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, cardamom, and salt directly to your food processor. Pulse lightly until just combined.
-
5
In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Begin to add eggs, one at a time. Make sure to combine mixture fully after each egg. Add vanilla.
-
6
Alternatively add the flour mixture and milk to the butter and sugar mixture.

7
Like this:
-
8
Add 1/2 cup flour, beat mixture on low until just combined.
-
9
Add 1/4 cup milk, beat mixture on low until just combined.
-
10
Repeat until all flour and milk is gone.
-
11
Pour cake batter into desired baking dish that has been well greased. (I use Pam Baking Spray)
-
12
Cook for about 20 minutes, but it is best to undercook this cake then overcook it... once the edges start to brown the cake starts to dry out. Keep a close eye on it after 14 minutes.
-
13
For a neat effect, add 1 or 2 drops of green food coloring to cake batter and combine.

14
Frost with your favorite frosting... I have used buttercream and cream cheese. People seemed to enjoy buttercream more. And when I say people I mean me.
