Ingredients
Scale
- 15.25 ounce box white cake mix
- 3.4 ounce box pistachio instant pudding (just the powder)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup 7up soda
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preparing the Oven and Pan Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10 or 12-inch fluted bundt pan to ensure your cake does not stick.
- Mixing the Batter In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix and pistachio pudding powder. Add the eggs, 7up soda, vegetable oil, and almond extract if using. Whisk together or use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for 2 minutes until everything is well combined.
- Adding Pistachios Fold in the finely chopped pistachios into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Baking the Cake Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and place in the oven. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cooling the Cake Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully run a dull knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then turn it out onto a wire rack or plate to cool completely.
- Serving When the cake has fully cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve the cake as desired.
