Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Fold in grated carrots and chopped pistachios gently until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add milk and mix until combined.
- Stir in pistachio pudding mix and powdered sugar until desired sweetness and consistency are reached.
- Frost the completely cooled cake with the pistachio frosting and garnish with chopped pistachios.
- Slice the cake into squares and serve.
