Ingredients for Cake
2 ½ cups 1.1 GF flour or all-purpose flour
1 1/3 Cups Sugar
1 cup Butter room temp
1 ½ cup Unsalted ground pistachios
1 cup Unsweetened plain yogurt
¼ cup Milk
2 tsp Baking powder
¾ tsp Baking soda
½ tsp Salt
3 eggs
1 tbsp lemon zest
⅓ cup lemon juice
Ingredients for Pistachio Buttercream Frosting
3 cups Unsalted butter room temp
1 ½ tsp Pistachio extract
5 cups Powdered sugar
1 ½ cups Unsalted ground pistachios
4 tbsp Heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray.
In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in milk, lemon juice, and yogurt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans.
Bake for 28-33 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
(Optional) Slice each cake in half to create four layers.
Instructions for Frosting & Assembly
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, pistachio extract, powdered sugar, ground pistachios, and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
Place the first cake layer on a serving plate and spread an even layer of frosting.
Repeat with remaining layers, then frost the outside of the cake.
Garnish with extra chopped pistachios, if desired.
Slice and enjoy!

That looks amazing
Ooo this looks lovely!
How would you describe the icing? I’m thinking about making my wedding cake with pistachio and chocolate layers but debating on what kind of icing to use (or ganache).
Looks SO freaking good
It looks wonderful! I look forward to checking out your website-
Mmmmm…that’s a beautiful cake. Your layers are perfect.
Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love that you shared the recipe! Looks amazing
I read “Butto” as “Butta” and my mind read the whole thing in a Boston accent… but that does absolutely look delicious.
I don’t really care for cake, but damn if I don’t want to eat that whole damn cake.

That’s a big butto. What’s a butto?
This looks gorgeous 🤩 I’m think going to try this recipe, except maybe frost with a German buttercream? Or something airier than the recipe calls for.
