Instructions

    • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
    • Add sour cream and espresso, mixing until smooth. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until combined. Stir in chopped pistachios.
  • Assemble & bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
    • Sprinkle the pistachio crumb topping over the batter.
    • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, espresso, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

  • Serve & enjoy: Slice and serve with a cup of coffee or your favorite latte!
