Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with unsalted butter and dusting with flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well. Then add the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream and milk.
- Fold in chopped pistachios and white chocolate chips gently.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a bowl, beat softened butter and gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to make the buttercream.
- Place one cooled cake layer on a platter, frost the top, and place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Garnish with finely chopped pistachios.
