Method
1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and cardamom.
3.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
4.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour mixture.
5.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6.
Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the pistachio cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Fold in ground pistachios.
8.
Once the cake is cool, cut horizontally into two layers. Spread pistachio cream between the layers and on top of the cake.
