Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 190 C/ 375 F. Lightly grease a ring cake pan and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat soft brown sugar, large eggs, and unsalted butter until creamy.
Step 3
Add sour cream, all-purpose flour, and baking powder, then mix for a couple of minutes until combined.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into the prepared ring cake pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through when tested with a skewer.
Step 5
Let the cake cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.
Step 6
While the cake cools, prepare the Royal Icing: Using a standard mixer, beat the medium egg white until soft stiff peaks form. Add lemon juice, icing sugar, and green food coloring. Beat for a couple of seconds more.
Step 7
As soon as the royal icing is made and the cake is sufficiently cool, pour the royal icing/glaze onto the cake. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios (if using) and decorate with flowers and eggs as desired.
