This easy Pistachio Cake recipe starts with a boxed cake mix and it is transformed into a super yummy cake that tastes homemade! AN EASY PISTACHIO CAKE RECIPE This particular cake has a very mild pistachio flavor. To me‚ pistachios have a very light flavor‚ kinda like almonds. They aren’t a very nutty nut. If ya know what I mean. The raw nut itself almost tastes sweet. I like them raw but I know a lot of folks may prefer them roasted and salted. TIPS FOR MAKING PISTACHIO CAKE: The green color makes it perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. The green is optional if you aren’t a fan of food colorings. Natural food colorings can be used. Many pistachios puddings have very tiny chunks of pistachios added to the mix so please skip this recipe all together if there are any nut allergies. Vanilla‚ white‚ butter or yellow cake mixes can all be used for this recipe. The pudding must be instant – not cook and serve. This can be made in a bundt pan or as a layer cake. Please note: As with most baked goods‚ oven times can vary. Many factors play into oven baking. Whether the oven is older or new or if it is a convection oven. Also‚ it depends on what rack it is baked on and whether you are using a Pyrex‚ ceramic or metal baking pan. In addition‚ many ovens are not heating to the exact temperature. I have a brand new oven and when I put in an oven thermometer‚ it still is 15 degrees off. All of these can affect baking times. So you need to go by doneness not necessarily time. Use the time below as a starting point and go from there. In addition‚ cake mixes keep changing sizes. They used to be 18 ounces and they just continue to keep dropping in sizes. This recipe still works‚ but bear in mind‚ as manufacturers keep adjusting the sizing‚ it can also affect bake times and this recipe will not be necessarily updated each time to reflect possible change in baking times. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) vanilla cake mix – French vanilla or white also work. instant pistachio pudding – this is the key to this recipe. It only works with the pistachio flavor. green food coloring (optional) – I like to boost the green color a bit but that is completely up to you. whipped topping (Cool Whip) – you can make your own homemade whipped cream if you prefer. HOW TO MAKE PISTACHIO CAKE Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl‚ combine dry cake mix with dry instant pistachio pudding. Mix those together until combined. Then add in eggs‚ oil and milk. Stir just until combined. This next part is optional but I like to make this cake a bit more green. I add in a few drops of green food coloring. About 6 to 8 drops. It just depends on how green you would like it. Stir until the food coloring is totally incorporated. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for about 25-30 minutes. Check around the 25 minute mark. If you insert a toothpick into it‚ it should come out clean when done. Now‚ it will look brown when you take it out. Don’t panic. It is green inside and the frosting is gonna cover that top anyway. Allow cake to cool completely before making frosting. To make frosting‚ put instant pistachio pudding mix into a mixing bowl. Add in 1/2 cup cold milk. Stir until combined. Now stir in the thawed whipped topping. Once again‚ I put in a few drops of green food coloring to really bring out that green color. About 5 drops or so. Spread frosting onto cooled cake. If you didn’t let the cake cool completely‚ the frosting is just gonna melt into cake. And no one wants that! Slice and serve. If you like‚ sprinkle with some crushed pistachios or green sprinkles. This cake needs to be kept refrigerated. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

His filmography is extensive‚ running from 1970 and into present day‚ but it was only at the 96th Academy Awards that Robert Downey Jr. won his very first Oscar. RDJ‚ as he’s sometimes referred to‚ beat out Robert De Niro‚ Ryan Gosling‚ Sterling K. Brown‚ and Mark Ruffalo to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor‚ and he celebrated by thanking his “terrible childhood.” After some solid early successes became eclipsed by drug-related problems and clashes with the law‚ Downey enjoyed a decent comeback in the early 2000s that grew exponentially as the decade – decades‚ now – went on. It has now culminated in Downey winning his first Oscar for Oppenheimer‚ presented to him by fellow Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan. Robert Downey Jr. thanks his terrible childhood as he accepts his very first Oscar win Robert Downey Jr. accepted his very first Oscar win / YouTube screenshot It would be a unqiue cultural phenomenon like Oppenheimer to break Downey’s no-Oscar win streak‚ as it was paired together with the equally titanic Barbie to create the Barbenheimer craze last summer. In keeping with these unprecedented times‚ Downey delivered what was probably a surprising speech to the 1.1 million who tuned in for the 2024 Oscars. RELATED: Robert Downey Jr. Loves His Kids More Than Anything—Meet His 3 Children “I’d like to thank my terrible childhood and the Academy‚ in that order‚” said Downey. “I’d like to thank my veterinarian — I mean wife‚ Susan Downey — over there. She found me a snarling rescue pet and you loved me back to life. That’s why I’m here. Thank you.” Entertainment Weekly notes this is also the very first time a former Saturday Night Live cast member has won an Oscar.

Again‚ there was a note of self-deprecation in his words. “Here’s my little secret. I needed this job more than it needed me‚” he said. “Chris knew it. Emma made sure that she surrounded me with one of the great casts and crews of all time — Emily‚ Cillian. It was fantastic. And I stand here before you a better man because of it. What we do is meaningful‚ and the stuff that we decide to make is important.” RDJ was candid about his troubled past / F. Sadou/AdMedia Both of Downey’s parents were in the entertainment industry‚ with his father a filmmaker and his mother an actress starring in his films. But their projects’ success or failure meant the family had periods of wealth or periods of poverty‚ giving Downey a volatile childhood. All the while‚ Downey spent his childhood “surrounded by drugs.” The first time Downey did drugs was when he was eight‚ and he further recalled‚ “When my dad and I would do drugs together‚ it was like him trying to express his love for me in the only way he knew how.” Downey’s relationship with drugs would be messy for years to come before a five-year stretch of abuse‚ legal trouble‚ rehab‚ and relapse‚ after April 2001‚ Downey committed to getting and staying clean; he has been drug-free since 2003.

On March 4‚ 2024‚ the claim that the Biden administration had secretly flown 320‚000 migrants into the U.S. in 2023 went viral. That claim originated from a report by the Center for Immigration Studies‚ a conservative think tank. The report‚ and its assertions‚ gained significant exposure when the Daily Mail covered it and Elon Musk shared the Daily Mail article on X (formerly known as Twitter). Former U.S. President Donald Trump also repeated the claim in his Super Tuesday victory speech...
