Categories     Cake     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Sour Cream

Number Of Ingredients 7

Pistachio Nut Cake
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 pkg pistachio pudding & Pie filling
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
½ cup oil
1 tsp almond extract

Steps:

Sprinkle with ½ c sugar and repeat. Top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 for 50 min. cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan. After removing from pan, sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pistachios: The flavor of your cake will depend heavily on the quality of your pistachios. Look for bright green, plump pistachios that are free of blemishes.
  • Toast the pistachios before using them: Toasting the pistachios will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant. You can toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Grind the pistachios finely: You'll want to grind the pistachios into a fine powder so that they distribute evenly throughout the cake. You can do this in a food processor or a spice grinder.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Over Sniperxing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the ingredients together until they are just combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Pistachio nut cake is a delicious and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright green color and nutty flavor, this cake is sure to impress your guests.
