Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 box instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (237 milliliters) club soda
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) vegetable oil
Garnish:
- Chopped pistachios (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9×13-inch pan with grease and flour coating.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate the cake mix, pistachio pudding powder, eggs, effervescent soda, and cooking oil.
- Gently blend ingredients using low-speed mixing, then accelerate to medium speed for two full minutes to ensure smooth integration.
- Transfer the silky batter into the readied pan, spreading evenly across the surface.
- Position the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, monitoring for a clean toothpick test indicating complete cooking.
- Remove from oven and allow the cake to rest and cool completely at room temperature.
- Enhance the cake’s visual appeal and flavor by sprinkling chopped pistachios on top or applying a preferred frosting layer.
Notes
- Swap club soda with sparkling water or sprite for a lighter texture and subtle flavor boost.
- Enhance the pistachio intensity by adding 1/2 cup finely ground pistachios directly into the batter for deeper nutty notes.
- Create a gluten-free version by using a certified gluten-free cake mix and ensuring all ingredients are gluten-free certified.
- For a dairy-free adaptation, replace eggs with flax eggs and use vegetable oil instead of butter-based ingredients.
