I don’t know how we journeyed across some of the most breathtaking sceneries, ate the most delectable carbs… and then returned to Ohio like whatever.

Eid Mubarak to all!

Wind was both a nuisance and a paid actor. A high-maintenance star, in fact.

How do I post a cake recipe when my heart is heavy and weary? When I wonder what world I’m raising my children in and what future I will hand over to them? I don’t have a good answer, but I think it has something to do with my heart desperately seeking pockets of solace in the raging mess that we call this world.

For those of you who are also picking themselves up to find solace in between the moments of anger and grief, here:

Pistachio Almond Orange Cake

Ingredients:

1 cup finely chopped pistachios
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 1/3 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup softened butter
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
5 large egg whites
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pistachio extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup whole milk
(optional) 1 drop green food coloring

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 8 inch round baking pans. Split 1 1/2 tablespoons from both the almonds and pistachios to lightly coat the bottom of each pan.

2. Whisk remaining pistachios, almonds, cake flour baking powder, baking soda, orange zest, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Beat in egg whites one at a time. Add sour cream, almond and pistachio extracts until combined.

4. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Gradually, add milk and mix to combine.

5. Divide batter evenly into the three pans. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until cakes are fully baked.

6. Once cooled, top with buttercream or cream cheese frosting, layer each tier, and decorate as you like. Enjoy!

Stay safe, stay warm.
