My sweet friend Caroline hosted a late Mother's Day brunch this past Saturday. It was so much fun! We all were to bring our favorite brunch dish to share. We were also to send her the recipe early so she could compile all of them and give them to us at the brunch. How much fun is that? Well needless to say, I got some new recipes! This cake was so pretty and yummy. Every time I think of pistachio anything, I am reminded of pistachio ice cream from the Spaghetti Factory in Nashville. Have you been there? Have you ever had pistachio ice cream? Most people have never even heard of it, and you can't really find it anywhere either. But it is so good! If you get a chance, try some! I almost forgot I am sharing a pistachio cake recipe and not ice cream. This was delicious. Enjoy!
