Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 package yellow cake mix 15.25 ounces
  • 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix 3.4 ounces
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup roughly chopped pistachios plus extra for garnish

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10- or 12-cup bundt cake pan with baking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and water. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Fold in the chopped pistachios. 
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle over the cooled cake and top with additional chopped pistachios. 

Notes

  • I like to let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. If the design of your bundt pan is especially intricate, you may need to let the cake cool for a bit longer before turning it out onto a wire rack.
  • Because of the pudding mix in the cake, Pistachio Pudding Cake is moist and delicious straight from the oven. It is almost better the next day, though! 
  • Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you can’t eat all of the cake within a few days, you can freeze leftovers for longer-term storage by wrapping slices in plastic wrap and storing in a zip-top freezer bag for up to a month.
