Cake and Pudding mix in Pistachio Cake:
This recipe is actually pretty simple with a cake mix, pudding mix (dry), eggs, oil, water and almond extract. The pudding gives this cake that great pistachio flavor and makes is so moist (talk about a double win), We sifted the actual pistachios out of the pudding mix. This way you get the flavor without the texture of nuts in the cake.
Making Pistachio Cake green:
After the batter is mixed you will then add the green food coloring. Just a few drops of green food coloring along with the pistachio pudding mix gives this cake a perfect pistachio green. One of my favorite things about this cake (other than the delicious flavor and moistness) is the fun green color.
Topping Pistachio Cake:
This cake is plenty sweet to stand on its own but if you were feeling like adding an extra sweet bit you can sprinkle it with a little powdered sugar. The powdered sugar also makes it look so pretty!

How come you have to sift the nuts out?
Kami says
Hi Mary! You don’t have to. I did just because I love the flavor of Pistachio, just not the texture of nuts in the cake. Leave them in if that’s what you love!
