Ingredients
- 15.25 oz white cake mix
- 3.4 oz instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 0.5 cup chopped pistachios
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray, then lightly dust with flour.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix and instant pistachio pudding mix. Stir until evenly combined.
Step 3
Add the eggs, vegetable oil, 1 cup of milk, and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Gently fold in the chopped pistachios to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk a few drops at a time if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Step 9
Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides for a decorative finish.
Step 10
Slice, serve, and enjoy Grandma's Pistachio Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
