Luscious Pistachio Cream Cake

Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thick, even layer of pistachio cream over the top, reaching just to the edges.

Carefully place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining pistachio cream, smoothing or swirling as desired.

Garnish and chill

Decorate with whole pistachios, chocolate shavings, or a delicate chocolate drizzle if using. These add visual contrast and complementary flavor.

Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving. Chilling allows the cream to set and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Serving & Storage Notes

Slice the cake with a warm, clean knife for neat portions. Serve slightly chilled or let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes for the softest texture. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Tips & Variations

• For deeper pistachio flavor, lightly toast the ground pistachios before adding them to the batter.
• If using cream cheese instead of mascarpone, ensure it is fully softened for the smoothest frosting.
• This cake pairs beautifully with coffee, espresso, or lightly sweetened tea.

Elegant, creamy, and delicately nutty, this pistachio cream cake is a refined dessert that feels both luxurious and comforting—perfect for celebrations or when you want to impress with understated sophistication.
