Note

Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent the cream cheese frosting from melting or sliding off.

For best results, use room temperature eggs and dairy for a smoother batter and frosting.

If you prefer a stronger pistachio flavor, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the cake batter.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days due to the cream cheese frosting.
