Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
2️⃣ In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pistachios, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4️⃣ Combine the buttermilk and sour cream in a small bowl. Alternately add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
5️⃣ Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
6️⃣ For the frosting, beat the butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until combined. Add the melted white chocolate, heavy cream, pistachio puree, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
7️⃣ Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate. Spread with a layer of frosting, then top with the second cake layer. Repeat with the third layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake, then garnish with chopped pistachios.
