For years and years I've been searching for the perfect pistachio cake recipe with no success. So many of the recipes I found called for pistachio pudding mix at some point (which is essentially just green almond pudding with pistachio flecks in it)—bleck, bleck, bleck! What I really wanted was a dense, moist cake that was simple and rustic but splendidly rich with toasty, nutty flavor. I hope you enjoy it
