Pistachio Bundt Cake

I made this cake for dessert on St. Patrick's Day. We had invited a new single sister in our ward over for dinner and I wanted a nice dessert, but festive. It was delicious! It was moist enough that it didn't need frosting. I dusted it with powdered sugar like the photo. You might want to read through the reviews as there are good tips for different frosting's, egg substitutes and such.
