Pistachio and lime cake is made with ground nuts \u2013 pistachios and almonds \u2013 and is gluten-free and made without baking powder. This gives it its characteristic \u201cmarzipan-like\u201d texture. The addition of freshly grated lime zest combined with the pistachios creates a wonderful flavour combination. The cake is delicious and definitely worth trying :).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
