Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

vegetable oil, spray for misting the pan
flour, for dusting the pan
1/2 cup chopped pecans (I omit)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I use mini chips)
18 1/4 ounces super moist white cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1/2 cup chocolate syrup

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degreesF.
  • Lightly mist a 12-cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Sprinkle the pecans and choc chips evenly in the bottom of the pan. Set the pan aside.
  • Place the cake mix, pudding mix, sugar, water, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
  • Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 min more (I set timer). The batter should look thick and smooth.
  • Remove 1 cup of the batter to a small bowl. Pour the choc syrup into the small bowl and stir until the mixture is well combined. Set aside. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan. Pour the choc batter over the top, trying to keep the choc batter away from the edges of the pan.
  • Swirl the choc batter into the white batter using a dinner knife. Place the pan in the oven.
  • Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 55 to 60 minute Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minute
  • Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake and invert it onto a rack to cool completely, 20 min more.

PISTACHIO BUNDT CAKE

Pistachio pudding mix gives this moist cake a pretty tint of green. As it bakes, the outside browns nicely to form a slightly crunchy crust. The cake slices beautifully and would make a fun dessert for St. Patrick's Day. -Becky Gant, South Bend, Indiana

Tips:

  • Measuring Ingredients Accurately: Use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients, especially for precise baking. Accurate measurements ensure consistent results.
  • Choosing the Right Pistachios: Opt for high-quality pistachios with vibrant green color and no signs of discoloration or blemishes.
  • Toasting Pistachios: Toasting pistachios enhances their flavor and aroma. Spread them on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Preparing the Bundt Pan: Generously grease and flour the Bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking. You can also use baking spray for convenience.
  • Mixing the Batter: Mix the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt) in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients. This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly.
  • Whisking the Eggs and Sugar: Whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. This process, known as creaming, incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake.
  • Adding Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Pouring the Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, filling it about ⅔ full. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
  • Baking the Cake: Bake the cake according to the recipe's instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Cooling the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Making the Glaze: While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting chocolate and butter together and adding milk and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Glazing the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the prepared chocolate glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate with additional pistachios, if desired.
