This pretty green pistachio pudding cake is unfailingly soft and tender, studded with chopped pistachios, and glazed with a sweet and shiny white icing. It\u2019s the perfect St. Patrick’s Day dessert and an embarrassingly easy cake recipe to bake, made all in one bowl with box yellow cake mix and a package of instant pistachio pudding.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t often use box cake mix, but after finding what appeared to be the easiest pistachio pudding cake recipe on Taste of Home, I was inspired. I kept the heart of the recipe, with box yellow cake mix, instant pistachio pudding, eggs, and chopped pistachios, but used butter instead of vegetable oil, whole milk in place of club soda, and swapped the pistachio pudding frosting for a simpler white icing. The result was a beautifully light and fluffy, nearly foolproof cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding pistachio pudding mix to the cake does three things: it imparts the subtlest pistachio flavor, tints the cake a pale green, and helps to keep the cake moist and tender. As a testament to that tenderness, my husband \u201ccovered\u201d the cake by draping, oh I don\u2019t know, a millimeter? sized piece of plastic wrap over the top of it, set it on the kitchen counter overnight, and it was still miraculously moist the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"easiest<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can enhance the mild pistachio flavor by adding up to a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter or add 1 to 2 drops of green food coloring to make it a brighter, more vibrant green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
