1 tsp almond extract

Notes

Boxed vanilla cake, white cake, or yellow cake mixes can all be used for this recipe. We prefer yellow cake mix.

Use instant pudding for this recipe.

No need to add extra food coloring. The coloring comes from the pistachio pudding.

Make this cake in a bunt pan, sheet pan, or two 8x8 round pans. If you're going to do powdered sugar dusting a bundt pan looks the prettiest. For an easy cake with a layer of fluffy frosting, we like a sheet pan and for a layered cake, cream cheese frosting looks beautiful.

Make this cake organic by using an organic boxed cake and all organic ingredients. The only ingredient that won't be organic is the pistachio pudding mix.
