Annamaria's Notes:

I simple popular recipe. I sometimes do the glaze or just dust with powder sugar. Chopped Pistachios folded into the batter is a great addition but not necessary. I make this every Saint Patrick's Day as my husband is Irish.. I add green food coloring drops to make it more festive and bring out the "Green" on the holiday!

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mixes, water, eggs, food coloring and oil; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Add pistachios if desired.

Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. bundt cake pan. Bake at 350° for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

In small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients, adding enough milk to reach desired consistency. Drizzle over cake. Or dust with Powdered Sugar instead of glaze.

Now this has gotta be delish. It's a beautiful cake and would be nice for Christmas & Easter, as well as St. Patty's Day. I will certainly make this cake b/c we absolutely love pistachios! I've been looking a pistachio cake recipe so I appreciate the post. Thx!

I am confused as to why the 1 star Bea if you haven't made it don't rate it. I happen to know just how wonderful this recipe is since I have made it for years for Christmas and Thanks Annamarie for posting it to remind me of the past. I am leaving it a 5 star cause I have done this recipe for years. YUMMO!!!!

Thanks Nancy accidents can happen. But I do know that some people do rate it before making it cause they have said so in their rating. I think you will enjoy it. Cats can be so much fun. LOL

Char, I gave it a star because I judged it by the ingredients and by the fact that we love pistashios. I'm new here and don't know the rules but have noticed that others have been doing this so, hey, I did it, too. I'll make sure that I don't do this in the future unless I either have made the dish. Sorry about that. :)

Nancy, darling, thank you for taking up for me but I'm guilty as charged. I'm glad that Char brought this to my attention. She is exactly correct and it makes sense to me...thanks, Char! Someone needs to keep me straight. LOL! Nancy, I'm adopting you as my daughter I never had. You're such a cool cat. And this one may be my favorite too!
