A quick and easy dessert made with white cake mix and pistachio pudding, featuring a moist cake with coconut and pistachio flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)
- For the glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp coconut milk (or regular milk)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- For topping: 1/4 cup toasted coconut flakes
- 2 tbsp finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix the white cake mix and pistachio pudding mix.
- Add eggs, water, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined, about 2–3 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Stir in shredded coconut and chopped pistachios. If using almond extract, add it in as well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes and chopped pistachios for a stunning finish.
Notes
Keep the cake covered at room temperature for 1–2 days. For longer storage, put it in the fridge in an airtight container. To freeze, wrap slices in plastic and place in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Check the cake at 40 minutes to avoid a dry result when oven times vary.
