  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup finely chopped pistachios
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese

  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  5. Gradually add flour, mixing until just combined. Fold in the pistachios.
  6. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  9. In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  10. In another bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the mascarpone mixture.
  11. Once the cake layers are cool, spread the mascarpone frosting between the layers and on top of the cake.
  12. Garnish with additional pistachios if desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider toasting the pistachios before adding them to the batter.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with coffee or tea.
