Step-by-step Guide:

2 – In a separate bowl, mix baking powder with flour, soak pistachios and hazelnuts in water, leave it for a minute, then transfer them into flour and stir them in (leave out about 2 tbsp pistachios for garnish).

It will prevent them from dropping into the bottom of the cake.

Pro Tips for Success:

  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: When folding the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can make the cake dense instead of light and fluffy.
  • Quick Glaze Tip: Let your pistachio glaze set for a few minutes before pouring it on the cake. It will give you a thicker, more beautiful finish.
  • Customize Your Cake: If you’re on a special diet or want a nut-free option, you can skip the nuts altogether and still enjoy a delicious, flavorful bundt cake!
