St. Patty's pistachio cake

Oooh la la!
Does this look YUMMY or what!
Hope you all enjoy your St. Patrick's Day... with a slice of heaven pistachio cake!
Wanna make your own?
You're in LUCK {har har} that we happen to have the recipe ;)

Ingredients:

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400*F.


Mix cake according to box directions.
{We used a vanilla mix}
Add a packet of pistachio pudding.
Mix until batter is green.


Put 1/3 of batter into a separate bowl.
Add 1/2 c. chocolate syrup {or more...  mmmm!}
Mix until all chocolatey :)


Pour both batters into bundt pan, alternating colors.
Blend the chocolate & pistachio to create heaven... erm, a marble-ish effect.
Bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack.


Frost*
Sprinkle with pistachio nuts,
{we used pecans since our dad is a pecan harvester and they are always on hand!}
Serve chilled... it tastes better when it's cold.
Eat & enjoy!




HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY :)

*Frosting instructions:
Stir CoolWhip until it is soft.
Add another packet of instant pistachio pudding.
Fold pudding mix into whip.
If "frosting" gets firm too quickly, simply add milk.
*Tip: Be sure to chill your bowl before mixing ;)

  4. Oooh- this cake has all of the best things in it! Right when I saw it, before I even read what it was I thought to myself, "I have pistachio pudding in the cupboard, I should make that today..." but I should make this cake instead! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  6. That is so cool! I'm definitely going to try this (although I have really boring tastes, so I might make green vanilla instead of pistachio!). Thanks for sharing.

    Following you back. :)
