I made this cake for my uncle for his birthday per his request. My grandma used to make it for him all the time. So needless to say there was a lot of pressure for this to turn out good. It was actually very good. It doesn't taste like pistachios or at least I didn't think so. Delicious for sure!

This recipe was delicious. It was like a good ol' southern mac and cheese. This only makes 2 cups though which was perfect for just my husband and I so you may want to double the recipe.
