RECIPE: looking for: venetian style pistachio cake

Posted by sorriso (My Page) on

Husband and I had the extreme pleasure of three nights in Venice a couple of years ago. One day when strolling near our B&B he purchased a slice of pistachio cake which I didn't think I'd love (why not, I love pistachios but if it's not chocolate I can be a pain) but it was HEAVEN!

About a year ago I spent some time looking for a recipe and finally made this one:

It was very close but not quite right...can't really recall now why I thought that.

But it was not like this...this one looks dry:

Searching briefly again tonight I see several posts on Venetian pistachio cake and several who have searched in vain so I turn to you, what have you got?

Thank you!

I spent a week in Venice a few years back....never had a pistachio cake.
But I suspect it's not "Venetian" but just a speciality of the baker.
Now a bellini or a Venetian style lasagna, that's something different.
