Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15 ounce box yellow cake mix
- 3.4 ounce box instant pistachio pudding mix
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan, or alternatively use a baking spray to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix and the instant pistachio pudding mix. Add water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the bundt pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then invert the bundt pan onto a wire rack to release the cake, allowing it to cool completely to room temperature.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooled, dust the top of the pistachio cake with powdered sugar for a beautiful and tasty finish. Slice and serve as a delicious dessert or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to properly grease and flour the bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Check the cake starting at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- You can add chopped pistachios on top before baking for extra texture and flavor.
- Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
