Instructions

Step 1

Whisk to combine all of the cake ingredients and pour in a greased 9x13 baking pan. In a preheated oven at 325f, bake for about 30-35min.

OvenPreheat

Step 2

In the meantime, make your milk mixture by combining the ingredients and set aside in the fridge for later.

Step 3

As for the frosting, start with creaming your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Gradually add the heavy cream until and after it’s well incorporated, increase the speed and continue to beat until stiff peaks are formed. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with an attachment tip.

Step 4

Remove the cake from the oven when a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the cake to completely cool down before poking holes all over.

Step 5

Pour your milk mixture all over the cake, pipe your frosting, and garnish with more crushed pistachios. I like to let the cake rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours so that the milks are completely soaked. Enjoy!
