WATCH HOW TO MAKE IT

this pistachio olive oil cake is the kind of dessert that sneaks up on you—in the best way. it’s not overly sweet or flashy, but it’s got this effortless elegance that makes you wonder why you haven’t been baking with olive oil and pistachios all along. the texture is insanely moist—like, stays-soft-for-days kind of moist—and the flavor is subtly rich, thanks to the nuttiness of the pistachios (from our OG Creamy Pistachio Spread) and the fruity depth of a good olive oil. it feels luxurious without trying too hard.

and then there’s the whipped cream. light, airy, just a little sweet—it’s the perfect finish. you could dress it up with fresh fruit or citrus zest if you’re feeling fancy, but honestly, this cake holds its own with minimal fuss. it’s the kind of thing you’d bring to a dinner party and quietly become everyone’s favorite person. simple, surprising, and ridiculously good—you’re going to want this in your regular rotation.
