Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix
- 2 boxes Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Chopped pistachios
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or use a nonstick cooking spray with flour.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, one box of instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and water. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios evenly using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, the remaining box of instant pistachio pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Let the cake cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top and let it set for 10-15 minutes.
Slice and serve your beautiful and delicious Pistachio Pudding Cake!
