Pistachio Bread
Ingredients
• 15 oz box yellow cake mix
• 3.4 oz box instant pistachio pudding mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon sugar (optional)
• Green food coloring (optional)
• Glaze (optional):
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk (more as needed)
• 1 Tablespoon salted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract (more to taste)
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or 2 8×4-inch pans). Sprinkle bottom with
cinnamon sugar if desired.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, water, melted butter (or oil) and sour
cream. Add green food coloring if desired.
3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
4. Bake 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If browning too
quickly, tent with foil.
5. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
6. For glaze, whisk powdered sugar, heavy cream, melted butter and extract until smooth. Add more
milk if needed to thin.
7. Drizzle glaze over cooled bread and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Slice into 12 servings
