\n<\/picture>\n\n\t\t\t\t Hi Bold Bakers!<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n WHY YOU\u2019LL LOVE THIS RECIPE: <\/strong>This stunning<\/em> Pistachio Pound Cake with White Chocolate Glaze Recipe <\/em><\/strong>is rich, moist, and dressed for spring! I love this kind of recipe\u2014the preparation is straightforward, and the mouthwatering flavors<\/strong> and gorgeous presentation<\/strong> make it a<\/em> very special, crowd-pleasing dessert!<\/em><\/p>\n Cakes made with nuts are naturally moist and rich<\/strong>, and the nuts add satisfying texture and unique flavor to desserts. Pistachios taste buttery and earthy, but they also have a note of sweetness.\u00a0 I have a great collection of nut cake recipes you\u2019ll want to make after you taste this dreamy pistachio cake<\/strong>. Check out One-Bowl Peanut Butter Sheet Cake<\/a>, Flourless Chocolate Almond Torte<\/a>, Butter Pecan Pound Cake<\/a>, and Austrian Sacher Torte<\/a>.<\/p>\n I can never resist a good pound cake, and this one is a keeper! Its delicate green hue, set against a smooth white chocolate glaze, makes it perfect for spring<\/strong>. When grinding the pistachios, be sure to stop when they reach a fine, flour-like consistency\u2014going too far will turn them into a paste. This cake also freezes<\/strong> beautifully for up to six weeks<\/strong>! Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing. When ready to serve, you can refresh it in the oven at 300\u00b0F (150\u00b0C), covered in foil, for about 15 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n 3. Cream butter and sugar: <\/strong>In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or with a hand-held electric mixer), combine the butter and sugar and beat on high speed<\/strong> until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 4. Add the eggs and beat again until aerated and fluffy, another 2 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 5. Add wet ingredients:<\/strong> Turn the mixer on low speed<\/strong> and stir in the milk, vanilla and almond extract until combined.<\/p>\n 6. Finish the batter:<\/strong> In a medium bowl, toss the flour, ground pistachios, and salt together and then gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until evenly mixed.<\/p>\n 7. Spread evenly into your prepared pan and bake for 60 to 75 minutes<\/strong>, until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.<\/p>\n 8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes<\/strong> before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n 9. Heat white chocolate and cream: <\/strong>In the top of a double boiler over simmering water, combine the white chocolate and cream and heat very gently until the white chocolate is almost melted. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 10. Glaze and garnish:<\/strong> Give the ganache a stir to make sure all of the chocolate is melted and then let cool until it is a thick but still pourable consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cake and garnish with some more chopped pistachios. Allow glaze to set before serving.<\/p>\n FULL (PRINTABLE) RECIPE BELOW!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
