Pistachio & white chocolate cake

                                                                   

Pistachio is on of my favorite nut, it's flavourful and delicate. Its beautyful dark pink skin hiding a light green treasure is a delight by itself. I use pistachio paste for my cake, its rich texture and parfume are really something, believe me !  and the white chocolate gives an amazing moist !

  6. Simply gorgeous, I just love the green swirl! And pistachio is a sadly underutilized flavor, I'm so happy to see it highlighted here.
