This is what happens when you go to Berkeley Bowl and you get hypnotized by their bulk nuts section \u2013 you end up with waaaaay<\/em> too many pistachios. It’s almost as if those sky high plastic containers of nuts with the easy pull down levers that allow for an avalanche of product to cascade into your bag is purposefully set just above reach so gravity can work its magic. And it’s not like you can shove the nuts back up in there… <\/p>\n

I made this pistachio cardamom pound cake for Christmas brunch and it was delicious. Definitely a sweet treat, but in lieu of making pancakes or French toast \u00e0 la minute<\/em>, I wanted something pretty, nicely sugary and also something I could make a day or two beforehand.<\/p>\n

At Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, poundcake is one of the first recipes you learn. The chefs always call it le g\u00e2teau pour le week-end pique-nique.<\/em> Or: the cake for the weekend picnic<\/em>. Why? Because it travels well (and keeps for days) and it can sit in a basket not get spoiled. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This is not a traditional pound cake recipe in the sense that it does use leavening, but I think it’s a great basic recipe to start with and make your own and it doesn’t require separating eggs and whipping up whites (although you can still do that and you will get an even lighter crumb). <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The rose glaze is just a pretty touch at the end and the segmented Winter Citrus soaked in an orange blossom simple syrup adds a nice counterpoint.<\/p>\n
