How to Make Grandma's Pistachio Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in milk, oil, vanilla extract, and pistachio extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chopped pistachios and green food coloring. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before dusting with powdered sugar and garnishing with extra chopped pistachios.
