To make this Pistachio Rosewater Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

- 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely ground
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup rosewater
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- Pink food coloring (optional)

For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup rosewater
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- Pink food coloring (optional)
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the ground pistachios, flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk, rosewater, vanilla extract, and almond extract. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring to give the batter a light pink hue.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually stir in the milk, rosewater, vanilla extract, and almond extract until the frosting is light and fluffy. If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring to give the frosting a light pink hue.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread frosting over the entire cake. Decorate with additional pistachios and rose petals, if desired.
