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

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

1/2 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.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

BUNDT CAKE
1 box betty crocker super moist yellow cake mix
2 pkg 3.4 oz. each of instant pistachio pudding
1 1/2 c water
4 eggs
1/4 c vegetable oil
3 drops of green food coloring (optional)
1/2 c chopped pistachios (optional)
GLAZE
1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp butter softened
2-3 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
  • 3. 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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. This means using real butter, fresh eggs, and pure vanilla extract.
  • Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a variety of nuts in the cake for a more flavorful and interesting dessert.
