Caramel Pistachio Cake!

So this past weekend I thought it would be great to try and bake a cake. After my last attempt I was rather sad and unmotivated. Even though the cake tasted great, it sank in the middle and the frosting was a little too sweet/heavy. Recently on 'Ace of Cakes' (which I love to watch) they mentioned that their most popular flavor was pistachio caramel and that somehow sounded awesome. After exploring the internets for a while there was one recipe which stood out as simple and delicious. With a few changes of my own and some disclaimers on how making your own buttercream is never really simple, I give you the recipe and the finished result!
