Questions & Replies

  1. Where is the frosting recipe as shown in the picture?
     
  2. Hi . I was wondering if you can substitute the pistachio pudding for vanilla pudding and add pistachio extract ( can't have nuts) and use that as substitute. If anyone has suggestions or recipes like that please I would welcome anything you had ! Thanks
     
  3. When you say add in the pudding mix... Do I add in the dry mix or make the pudding first and add it to the cake batter. If you can't tell I don't bake to often. LOL I had pistachio cake at a local eatery and went to order one and it was 100.00!! So, I'm going to give your recipe a try, it sounds delicious!!
     
  4. Hi I made this cake and added whole pistachio's I love my hubby not so much. Can I freeze the already baked cake minus the frosting?

  1. My family does basically the same cake. We use white mix, 1/2 c. water, 1/2 c. milk, 1/2 c. oil, 5 eggs and 2 pkgs of instant pudding. Makes for a pretty green cake that is heavy, moist and has a few nuts for texture. For an icing we use heavy whipping cream, sugar, and a 3rd pkg of instant pistachio pudding. It's our classic St. Patrick's Day cake.
     
  2. My grandmother used to make this almost like a coffee cake by swirling cinnamon and a bit of sugar through it w/bits of pistachios. She added either 1 large box or two small boxes of the pudding. She then topped it with the Cool Whip-pistacio pudding mix frosting. Sprinkle the top with bits of pistachios and a small amount of the cinnamon-sugar mix. My fave!
     
  3. I really enjoyed this. I added 6 oz. of white chocolate chips, which added a little something extra special. Then, I iced it with a package of pastachio instant pudding mixed with 3/4 cup of milk, and an 8 oz. container of Cool Whip. Made a very pretty, light green cake that tasted wonderful. Thank you!
     
  4. Does it matter if you use instant pudding or regular? My mother made this all the time when I was a kid. We use powdered sugar on top instead if icing. I can't find the recipe she used and I want to make it for her birthday.
     
  5. I ask my wife to make this for me and she did, and it was great very moist. Thanks for the recipe, this is a keeper.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well where to begin with this year, so much has happened that I have decided to change it around one more time. I am currently seperated and going through a divorce. I am now the single mother to 2 amazing kids Nicholas who is 6 and Grace who is 3. I have also made the big descion to go back to school, which I started in August, I love it! I have another year and a half to go, but I am loving every minute of it. My cooking has changed instead of time to prepare meals I am doing alot of prep work ahead of time and can soon find myself into the OAMC. My mom has also recently just joined after years of searching for recipes, so I know she will be posting alot of my favorites from when I was a kid. In my spare time which I do not have alot of I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, excersing, watching movies, doing crafts, and cooking which is a passion. My mother and my grandmother taught me how to cook at a very young age and it is something I appreciate them for doing. I love having bonfires in the summer, my house is the one everybody kinda ends up at for a good time, we like to sit around the fire having BBQ's, having a few drinks and playing cards. I know sounds boring but I love it. In the winter months I do alot of dinner parties where everybody comes over for good food, and good times. My friends mean the world to me they have stood beside me through everything the one way I always show appreciation for it is to feed them. I love to bake, I am not a fan of sweets just like doing it and giving it away. My Christmas baking gets a little more out of control each year. I stumbled onto this site a few years ago and I am on at least once a day. I may not be one to be as active as I should on here with keeping up news and forums, but like I said I am always copying recipes down, one day I will get around to posting all of my reviews to all of your amazing recipes. The recipes you find posted by myself are tried and true. There is nothing I haven't made on here or are in the process of trying, if I think it is good I will post it for all to share, if I didn't like it you won't see me post it. Alot of my recipes are handed down from my grandmother so they are all good, these all come from my heart to your table, Enjoy!
