Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

3/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
100 grams pistachio pudding powder (approximately one 4-serving box, don't use low fat or low sugar variety)
4 eggs
green gel food colouring
1 1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
butter and flour for greasing the cake pan
8 oz (220 grams) full fat cream cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
3-4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3 tablespoons half and half
chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking pan by greasing it with butter and coating the inside of the pan evenly with a thin dusting of flour. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
  • Add the pudding powder and whip on high speed until incorporated.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add a tiny amount of green gel food colouring after the eggs, if desired.
  • Combine the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl or pyrex measuring cup and whisk with a fork to combine.
  • Add the milk mixture to the butter mixture slowly, mixing well until combined.
  • Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, and mix on low speed just until the batter forms and no streaks of flour appear.
  • Finish mixing by hand with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well combined (mixing with the electric mixer at this stage can cause over-mixing, so it's best to finish it gently by hand).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60 minutes (sometimes it requires 65 or even 70 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the frosting.
  • In a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
  • Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and whip on high speed until smooth.
  • Add the half and half one spoonful at a time until a spreadable consistency is reached.
  • Spread the frosting over the completely cooled cake and top with chopped pistachios, if desired.
  • Slice and serve.

PISTACHIO PUDDING CAKE



Pistachio Pudding Cake image

I created this recipe for my mother who loves Pistachios. Since the first slice was served I get requests for this cake all the time. Friends and family actually get mad when I don't bake one for a party or cook-out. The cake comes out extremely moist and the frosting is to die for. I use the frosting method for all frostings, by changing the pudding flavor (chocolate pudding for chocolate frosting etc...). I've always use instant pudding mix in this recipe, so I'm not sure how sugar-free or non-instant puddings will work. Have fun and enjoy, I hope it's as big a hit for you as it is for me.
