Notes

  • Pistachios: Skinless pistachios will give the cake the most vibrant color, but raw pistachios with skins also work.
  • Soy Milk: Swap for almond milk or oat milk.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Swap for lemon juice.
  • Vegan Butter: Block-style butter such as Violife or Naturli, not spreadable margarine.
  • Greek-Style Yogurt: Sub with vegan sour cream, vegan skyr, or very thick coconut yogurt.
  • Pistachio Cream Spread: If you can’t find a dairy-free version, use this homemade pistachio cream recipe.
