    CAN I USE WHEAT FLOUR INSTEAD OF ALL-PURPOSE/FLOUR?

    For a light and soft cake, all-purpose flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in dense cake. If you prefer to use wheat flour choose fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3  tablespoon of milk.  Also, add extra sugar syrup to moist the cake

    CAN I USE BUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL?

    Yes, oil can be substituted with melted unsalted butter but as I told you in my other cake recipes oil makes the moist cake. I would recommend flavorless oil

    HOW CAN I ADOPT THE RECIPE FOR OTHER CAKE PANS?

    I have used a 7-inch cake pan. You can use the same proportion and split it into two 6 inch pans. Double the recipe for 9-inch pista rose cake

    HOW LONG SHOULD I MICROWAVE Milk?

    I have microwaved for 2 minutes but time might vary based on your microwave oven setting. Microwave milk turns hot.

    CAN I BOIL MILK ON THE STOVETOP?

    Yes, you can cook milk just till it turns warm avoid boiling hot milk.

    Can I use milk from the fridge?

    hot milk helps to raise the cake and make it spongy so I would recommend it. Avoid using milk directly from the fridge

    CAN I BAKE IN THE PAN?

    Yes place a stand and preheat the pan for 10 minutes on medium flame. Place the cake pan on top, cover with a lid and cook for 30-40 minutes on low flame

    What kind of pistachio should I use?

    I used lightly salted pistachio and that worked perfect for the cake. You can use unsalted pistachio too

    Why should I grind all the dry ingredients?

    If you grind pista alone it might turn oily but grinding pista with other ingredients helps for the perfect texture.

    Can I skip food color?

    Yes, food color is optional. you can skip

    Notes

    1. The amount of frosting differs based on the way you frost the cake
    2. Always use roasted pistachio as it won't ooze out oil while grinding
    3. If preferred you can make two-layer .add a layer of frosting in between layers
    4. The same measurement can be baked in two 6 inch cake pan
    5. You can double the ingredient measurement for a 9-inch cake
    6. instant vanilla pudding mix Is optional but it helps for frosting texture and taste
    7. I preferred piping my frosting so added pudding mix. You can skip if you prefer simple frosting
    8. Always use chill heavy cream for whipping. Avoid room temperature heavy whipping cream
    9. Add frosting only after the sugar syrup  is well soaked on the cake
    10. You can prepare cake in a loaf pan
    11. The frosting is optional. You can skip still cake tastes yum
