Has anyone ever baked a pistachio cake using a mix? I've made it before, and thought I had it written down in a cookbook but can't find it and can't remember all the added ingredients. icon_cry.gif

I found this on the web. Looks pretty good, too.

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box golden vanilla cake mix or white cake mix or yellow cake mix
2 (3 1/2 ounce) boxes instant pistachio pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 cup warm water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 drops green food coloring (optional)
1 cup cold milk
1 1/2 cups Cool Whip

preheat oven 350.
In a large bowl mix,cake mix,1 box of pudding,eggs, water,vegetable oil,food coloring. Pour batter into greased pan or pans depending on if you'd like to make this a layer cake. This recipe is versatile. Bake 35 min or until tooth pick comes out clean at center in 9x11 pan or follow pan baking times on back of mix if making layer cake.
chill cake and frost with any frosting or suggested recipe below.
1 box pistachio pudding 1 cup milk,beaten with cool whip. Spread over cooled cake

Thanks for the inquiry and the recipe, I'm going to try it soon. I have a scratch recipe that I tried, it tasted good, but seemed very dry and crumbly, not very good for decorating. Janice

Thanks BlakesCakes, this is looking really familiar to me, it might be the one I've used B4, even down to the frosting. I'm gonna use BC frosting on this one cuz I want to try my 1st fbct.

I searched allrecipes.com and found some, but they all had ingredients that I know aren't in the recipe I've used before.

Gonna try it right now.

Thanks thumbs_up.gif
