pistachio cake

It was DPD Latvia’s 25th birthday and I had to film a video with a cake for a birthday activity. I wanted to make a carrot cake but realised that with just the three of us (and Paula not being fond of that glorious carrot cake of mine), there would be just the two of us to enjoy it for a week and that was too much. So, I looked through the cupboards of my mind and kitchen for inspiration, and I did not have to look far to discover that there were packages of pistachios waiting to be used so I did. This is a beautiful and very festive cake for special occasions and, honestly, whenever you crave that generous pistachio embrace.
