The nice thing about the otherwise rather flat winter is that the super delicious citrus fruits can be bought everywhere. Ranging from lemons to oranges, blood oranges and clementines and many more.
Today we want to introduce you to a moist orange pistachio cake, we used juicy oranges from Sicily.
The cake goes really well with a well-made coffee and of course with a glass of fresh mint tea or chai latte.
Just give it a try, you will see it is a blast!
Easy cake recipe
The cake is easy to make and so quickly. First, mix the eggs, spices and sugar until frothy. The hand mixer is sufficient here. Then briefly add the butter and then add the dry ingredients, orange juice and rose water. Mix until everything is soft, but don´t overmix the dough. Pour in the spring pan, sprinkle with almonds and bake! So easy!

I tried this recipe, and we LOVED it.
As my cardamom capsules were entire, I mixed It in a blinder, with the pistachios, the orange zests the flour and semolina. I also poured less butter (margarine for me) and way less rose water: mine might be much more concentrated than yours, because 1 tea spoon was enough and I think otherwise, it would have been too much.
It tasted so good… Every bite is like an invitation to dream and travel… Big success, my family already asked me to make it again!
Thank you so much
