Pistachio Cake

I do love a good chocolate cake, but I'd have to say this is my second favorite flavor.  It's probably just nostalgic for me as I used to ask for it on my birthday, but it is tasty, nonetheless.  AND, it makes a GREAT St. Patrick's Day dessert.  Try it!

Ingredients:
1 yellow cake mix
1 pkg. pistachio pudding mix (4 oz)
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 cup oil
4 eggs
1 tsp. almond extract
7 drops green food coloring

Combine all ingredients together and beat for 2 minutes.  Pour into greased & floured BUNDT cake pan.  Bake @ 350 for 50-55 minutes.  Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Invert onto wire rack and continue to cool.  Drizzle with powdered sugar glaze (below).


Glaze:
1 lb. (about 3 1/2 cups) powdered sugar
2 T. melted butter
1/4 cup milk (add 1-2T more if it's too thick)
1/2 tsp. almond (optional)
2-3 drops green food coloring (optional)

Combine all ingredients together & drizzle over cooled cake.
