Love-flip-flops (Love the name BTW!) - the original recipe is Lauren's yellow cake, the pistachio cake with my tweaks is:

PISTACHIO CAKE WITH PISTACHIO FROSTING

1 15 oz. can white beans, rinsed (I used cannellini beans)
5 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
3/4 tsp. stevia extract (NuNaturals)
3/4 cup erythritol or 2/3 cup xylitol
1 Tbsp. clear vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. Lorann Pistachio flavor oil
6 Tbsp. coconut flour
2 Tbsp. sugar-free pistachio dry pudding mix
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 cup pistachio nuts, chopped - optional
a few drops green food coloring

Preheat oven to 350.

Rinse beans in a colander and drain well. Blend beans with eggs, vanilla and salt, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sweetener until light and fluffy. Beat in the pureed mixture. Mix together the coconut flour, pudding mix, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Add to the batter and beat together for a minute or so till fluffy. Add green food coloring a drop at a time to add a subtle green color to the batter, if desired. Fold in the chopped nuts, if using. Pour batter into baking pan(s) or cupcake liners sprayed with non-stick spray. I used 2 round silicone pans and split the batter between them for a two-layer cake. Bake the cakes for 20 to 25 mins. till springy to touch or use toothpick to test doneness. Cool in pan for 10 mins. then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Let sit several hours or overnight.

PISTACHIO FROSTING

1 1/2 sticks butter, creamed
1/3 cup Xylitol, powdered, plus 3/8 cup powdered Erythritol
2 to 3 tsp. half and half
1 tsp. clear vanilla extract
pinch sea salt
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. NuNaturals stevia extract
1/8 tsp. Lorann pistachio flavor oil
green food coloring as desired
1/4 chopped pistachio nuts, if desired

Cream the butter. Stir sweeteners in with spatula or spoon then beat until smooth. Add in vanilla and salt. Beat in half and half. Add the pistachio oil and food color, if using then taste and add stevia extract for desired sweetness.

Set the chopped nuts aside to sprinkle on top of the frosted cake.

There are a couple pics of the cake in the pistachio cake thread, if you want to take a look, just do a search for pistachio cake
