- Make sure to use room temperature butter for easier creaming with the sugar.
- Grate the orange zest finely to maximize the citrus flavor without adding bitterness.
- When mixing the dry ingredients with the wet, be careful not to overmix to keep the cake fluffy and light.
- Chop pistachios roughly to retain a nice texture and to distribute them evenly throughout the cake.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
