You will not be disappointed with this cake. I made it for my son's birthday by special request, after searching for a "Pistachio" Cake recipe for longer than I can say. Thank you Caryn for sharing this great recipe!

YUMM, this was really good! I did exactly as said, except I didnt have a tube pan, so I used a 9x13 and it was fine! The chocolate chips definatly add a great flavor to it! thanks for sharing :)
