Categories     Chocolate

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box 2-layer yellow cake mix
3 oz pkg. of pistachio instant pudding
4 eggs
1 c water
1/2 c oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 c chocolate syrup
1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
FROSTING
3 oz pkg. of pistachio instant pudding
3 c powdered sugar
3 oz softened cream cheese
milk

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a Bundt pan by spraying with Baker's Joy, or similar product.
  • 2. Combine the cake mix, pudding, eggs, water, oil and extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low just to blend, then turn to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as you go.
  • 3. Pour one cup of the batter into a separate bowl and stir in the chocolate syrup and unsweetened cocoa. Mix well so unsweetened cocoa powder is well incorporated!
  • 4. Evenly pour about 1-1/2 to 2 cups of the "green" batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spoon 1/3 of the chocolate batter over the green batter, staying in the center, away from the sides of Bundt. Cover chocolate batter with more green batter, spoon on more chocolate batter, etc., until both batters are used. Using a metal long spatula or dull knife, GENTLY zig-zag a pattern through the batters to make the marble effect. Be careful not to drag spatula across bottom or sides of pan, so as not to scrape off the Baker's Joy coating.
  • 5. Bake for approximately 50 - 58 minutes if using a Bundt pan. Use a cake tester right at 50 mins ...your oven might not require any more time. I also use a stoneware Bundt pan, which can make a difference. If making this in a 13x9 or other pan, you'll have to use your judgment and rely on your ol' cake tester for doneness. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  • 6. Top with your favorite fudge or chocolate frosting, or with pistachio frosting [below], or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar, once completely cooled.
  • 7. For the pistachio frosting, make sure your cream cheese is very soft. Mix the pkg. of pistachio pudding mix, powdered sugar, soft cream cheese and just enough milk to make a spreading consistency; start with a TBSP or two of milk, and add only a little bit at a time, if necessary. Mix well, so no lumps are left behind by the cream cheese. I use my electric mixer for this, once all ingredients are incorporated and moistened. Apply frosting to COOLED cake.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and produce a smooth, even texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense cake.
  • Divide the batter into two bowls and add the pistachio paste to one bowl: This will create the marbled effect.
  • Pour the batters into the prepared pan and swirl them together with a knife or toothpick: This will help to create a more dramatic marbling effect.
  • 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: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This pistachio marble cake is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of pistachio and vanilla flavors is sure to please everyone, and the marbled effect adds a touch of elegance. With its moist, tender crumb and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
