Pistachio Pudding Cake
This fairly green pistachio pudding cake is unfailingly tender and soft, studded with chopped pistachios, and glazed with a sweet and glistening white icing. It is the fantastic St. Patrick's Day supper as well as an embarrassingly simple cake recipe to bake, made in 1 bowl with box yellow cake mix plus a bundle of instant pistachio pudding.
Adding pistachio pudding mix to the cake does three things: it elevates the subtlest pistachio taste, tints the cake a light green, and also helps to keep the cake moist and tender. As a testament to this tenderness, my spouse"coated" the cake by draping, oh I do not understand a millimeter? Piece of plastic wrap across the top of it, place it on the kitchen counter and it was moist the morning after.
