zesty limeade pistachio pudding pound cake

I wanted to elevate the flavors of the Pistachio Pudding cake to a higher level by making it from scratch instead of a boxed cake mix. This version really did the trick. I served this @ a recent Community Event, and I was very impressed with the lime flavors, and the moist texture of the cake. The lime Jello when combined with the other ingredients really elevated the flavors. Then baking it in my Nordic Ware Anniversary Bundt pan made way for an impressive presentation when the cake was adorned with the Butter Lime Glaze & green candies. This cake DOES NOT DISSAPPOINT THE TASTE BUDS.
