Strawberry and Pistachio Cake

Wednesdays are becoming my favourite day of the week. As I mentioned before we have been invading our friends house to watch Mad Men every Wednesday evening since the season began. There’s something nice about a mid week gathering that allows you to pause and relax with friends. Last week I made no contribution to the evening and merely consumed everything I was offered. So this week I thought I would make something special. I didn’t have any thoughts on what this would be until I was in the supermarket and picked up the June issue of Olive Magazine. A recipe for strawberry and pistachio cake caught my eye immediately, mostly due to the gorgeous colour combination. The cake was super simple to make with few steps and clear instructions. The only change I made was to make it in a round tin. I also went a bit overboard arranging strawberries on top. It was somewhat therapeutic. I hardly use pistachio when baking but loved the texture it added to the cake and it was great with the fresh strawberries and frosting.

  1. This cake looks a summer’s afternoon delight. I’ve searched the internet and tried to get the June Olive magazine, but have been unsuccessful. I was wondering if you’d share the recipe? Thank you Rachel

  2. Hi Rachel, I saw the recipe in the Olive magazine whilst I was visiting the UK a few weeks ago. I couldn’t get a copy of the magazine but would love this recipe. Could you please send me the recipe or post it? Many thanks.
