Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box duncan hines white cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 c chopped walnuts
1/4 c salad oil
1 c club soda
1 (3 3/4) oz pistachio instant pudding

Steps:

  • 1. Mix everything in a bowl, beating 4 mins.
  • 2. Pour into greased tube pan no NOT flour pan!!
  • 3. Bake in preheated oven 350 F degrees 40 minutes. Freezes well!
  • 4. Notes: I add 1 tsp. almond extract to batter. I use a bunt pan, and bake 350 F degrees for 50 minutes. Let cool in the pan 15 minutes. Invert pan, cool cake completely. Dust with confectioners sugar.
  • 5. For Frosting: * Opts 1: 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix 1 pint of heavy whipping cream * Opts 2: 16 oz. container of Cool Whip mixed with 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix * You can change up and add other ingredients as you wish such as chocolate chips and cherries. I've also changed the cake and puddng mixes to make other flavors.
  • 6. * FYI!!!!! Never use pudding with a cake mix that already has pudding in it. That's what makes it fail. Duncan Hines, works every time!
