Looking for the perfect Spring cake to serve on Mother's Day? Enter this Pistachio Torte with White Lemon Balsamic Frosting: the perfect dessert to impress your family and friends.

Ours is made with ground pistachios, all-purpose flour, Sola Stella Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and a touch of vanilla extract, this torte is light and moist with a slightly nutty flavor. But what makes this torte truly unique is the White Lemon Balsamic Frosting, which is creamy, tangy, and perfectly balances the sweetness of the torte, and of course is full of our White Lemon Balsamic Vinegar.

If you're not familiar with tortes, they're similar to cakes, but typically contain little to no flour and are often made with chocolate, fruit puree, or nuts (in our case pistachios). Tortes are typically richer and denser than traditional cakes, and we are HUGE fans.

We are huge fans of this decadent cake, and we hope you enjoy making it as much as you'll enjoy eating it!
