    Moist and delicious eggless pistachio cake that is very easy to make. This cake is flavored with store bought pistachio paste giving it an intense flavor.

    It has been a busy weekend with an early Sankranthi celebrations at my cousin's place. It was fun getting the kids dressed up and rounding them up for Bhogi pallu. Trying to keep the traditions alive.

    Today's recipe has nothing to do with Sankranti, but is related to travel. Desserts for travel become very important when kids are involved. I wouldn't probably think of desserts when just me and my husband are travelling, but they become essential when kids are around. I usually carry cookies or Indian biscuits along. My mom used to make barfi or peanut fudge for travel when we were little.

    My son prefers cookies and cakes over Indian sweets, so I made this almost vegan Pistachio cake for today's post. I had some pistachio paste leftover in the fridge after making these cookies that I wanted to use up. I call it almost vegan because I used regular butter instead of vegan butter because I didn't have any Earth Balance butter sticks in the fridge.

        Can NOT get whole wheat pastry flour any more at any of the stores that used to carry it.😢😢. Supply problem? Mail order shipping fees from the makers (King Arthur, Bob's Red Mill) more than double the cost.

          Hi Rsp, I haven't bought in a few months. That is sad to hear. I usually buy from Whole Foods. Regards, Pavani
