Vegan lemon-pistacchio cake

My whole family + friends are obsessed with this! Even the ones, who don’t like pistacchios.

There is spinach in this recipe as well, I used frozen one but you can use fresh as well. Don’t worry, you won’t taste it, it’s for the colour and moisture.

Check out my Instagram to see a video – the texture is sooo good!

    Found this recipe quite by accident on Instagram and decided to give it a try because I had some spinach& pistachios that needed to be used. WOW!! This is, quite possibly, the most delicious cake I’ve tasted in years!! It will definitely be made many more times. Thank you for sharing❤
