This is a simple cake recipe that uses pistachio pudding mix and lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage to make a cake. This sumptuous and filling recipe is great for the weekend or family gatherings.
The pistachio flavor in this cake is extremely subtle. Pistachios have a mild flavor that reminds me of almonds.. The uncooked nut has a delicious taste to it. I love them raw, although I understand that many people prefer them roasted and salted.
Pistachio Cake is a lovely cake that I used to make when I was a kid. You can make a lovely fresh-tasting pistachio cake with a box cake mix, carbonated beverage (I prefer a Sprite for this), whipping topping mix and lots of milk.
This cake has a tender crumb, is perfectly moist all round, and tops with a wonderful fluffy icing – you can’t go wrong with this recipe!
For a long time, this pistachio cake has been a favorite in my family. Because of its green color, we’ve made it a tradition to bake this on Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day. But this is one cake that you don’t want ot reserve for just holidays.
You can eat t all year round. You could eat it every single day and each day will feel like the first time!
