Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Pans

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Milk

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. 6

    Fold in Pistachios

    Gently fold in the chopped pistachios into the batter.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting or serving.
