Angel Cake with White Chocolate and Pistachio
Tidbits....White chocolate is not a true "chocolate" because it is not made with cocoa. White chocolate does not offer the same benefits as dark chocolate. (80% or more). Good quality white chocolate is made with cocoa butter, read your label and make sure it is not made with trans-fats instead.
