Pistachio Cake

 

We had an extended family party yesterday, with a St. Patrick's Day theme.

I made this Pistachio Cake for dessert.

 

This cake is so yummy!

It's dense & moist~ almost like a banana bread texture.

Even my pickiest eater liked it, which is saying a lot!

 

Pistachio Cake

 

1 package yellow cake mix

2 small packages pistachio instant pudding mix

4 eggs

1 cup Sprite

1/2 cup oil

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup cold whipping cream

3/4 cup cold milk

2 tsp. powdered sugar

 

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, ONE pudding mix, eggs, Sprite and oil.

Beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Stir in 1/2 cup walnuts. Pout batter into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan.

Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

When cake is cool, place the cream, milk, ONE pudding mix and powdered sugar in a large bowl.

Beat on high until stiff peaks form. Frost cake, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup walnuts. Keep refrigerated.

 

*My Notes:

I just stirred the nuts in the frosting, rather than sprinkling on top.

This can also be made in a 9x13 pan.
