This tasty pistachio pound cake or pistachio bread recipe makes 2 loaves, so it is totally shareable and it’s very easy to make. I especially love the green color to it, and it requires very few ingredients. Plus, its ready in an hour or less!
I call this a pound cake, but I like to serve it as a pistachio bread. I sprinkle pistachios on top of it and leave out a frosting. With that being said, a cream cheese icing or a glaze would be amazing on it.
Is this pistachio pound cake/ pistachio bread healthy? Not really, but we should all indulge every once in a while. Plus, it’s great for work parties or potlucks!
I find that this pound cake is also quite heavenly with a cup of coffee, and I have enjoyed it for breakfast a time or two.
