    This cake was okay but given the cost of pistachio paste, I'm not sure the result warrants making it again. I like that it wasn't too sweet but I think I will add some more sugar if I make it again- maybe another 1/3 cup? The cake has a lovely rich flavor that would go well with coffee or tea. Mine wasn't bitter.

    What I liked about the cake is that it is not too sweet, but like kprovost I noticed a slightly bitter taste. The pistachios were fine so it must have come from the pistachio paste. Not sure I would make again given that the pistachio paste was quite expensive.

    This cake was delicious, but has a slightly bitter taste. Not sure if it was from the pistachios or the pistachio paste. It's not too sweet, which means I'll be making it again for my family.
