Description

My Aunt used to make this easy cake, and it always stood out in a crowd! It’s one of my favorites from childhood! (Note: I’m not happy with picture, as it shows failed attempts at making a glaze and at making it a marbled yellow and green cake, but it’s all I have for now!)

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Yellow Cake Mix
  • 2 packages (3.4 Oz. Package) Instant Pistachio Pudding, Divided
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Club Soda, Room Temperature
  • ½ cups Crisco Oil
  • 3 Tablespoons Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)
  • ½ cups Finely Chopped Walnuts
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Almond Extract (or Vanilla, But I Like Almond Better)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cake: mix together 1 package of pudding, yellow cake mix, eggs, club soda, oil and walnuts. Add optional mini chocolate chips and fold in. Grease and flour a 10″ bundt/tube cake pan, bake for 50-60 minutes at 350.

Topping: beat together the heavy cream, remaining packet of pistachio pudding, milk and almond or vanilla extract. This makes a pretty, green whipped topping for the cake. Or you can just dust some powdered sugar on top.

Note: serving size depends on how thick or thin you make the slices!

Disclaimer: I have these 40-55 year old, handwritten recipes from my aunt, who has since passed. Unless noted, I have no clue if they were adapted from other recipes.
