Description

Celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day with this moist and flavorful Pistachio Pudding Cake made from a white cake mix combined with instant pistachio pudding, eggs, vegetable oil, and soda. Baked in a bundt pan and topped with powdered sugar or glaze, this festive green dessert is perfect for parties and improves in flavor the next day.

Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup club soda or lemon-lime soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

Topping

  • Powdered sugar or glaze for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a bundt pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
  2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix, instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and soda. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add pistachios and almond extract: Fold in the chopped pistachios and the optional almond extract to infuse a subtle nutty flavor into the batter.
  4. Pour batter into bundt pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top for an even bake.
  5. Bake the cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is cooked through.
  6. Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the cake from breaking and helps it set perfectly.
  7. Add final touches: Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar or drizzle with a light glaze as desired for a festive and appealing finish.

Notes

  • Add a few drops of green food coloring to the batter for a vibrant Saint Patrick’s Day touch.
  • The cake stays super moist and its flavor enhances after resting overnight.
  • Top with whipped cream and extra chopped pistachios to make it party-ready and visually appealing.
