INGREDIENTS :

• 1/2 c. canola oil
• 1 package yellow cake mix (regular size)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 package (3.4 oz.) instant pistachio pudding mix
• 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
• 1 c. club soda

Icing:

• 3/4 c. cold 2% milk
• 1 c. cold heavy whipping cream
• 2 tsp confectioners’ sugar
• 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
• 1 package (3.4 oz.) instant pistachio pudding mix

DIRECTIONS :

Step 1: Place the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, soda, and oil in a large bowl. Beat everything for about 30 seconds at low speed. Adjust the speed to medium and continue beating for additional 2 minutes. Then, fold in the walnuts.

Step 2: Into a greased and floured 10-inch fluted tube pan, pour the batter. Place in a 350 degrees oven for about 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven when done and allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let the cake cool fully.

Step 3: Add the cream, milk, pudding mix, and confectioners’ sugar to a large bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form. Then, frost the cake and sprinkle it with walnuts. Chill in the fridge. Enjoy!

TIPS:

• Ensure to use cold heavy whipping cream for the perfect icing. And do not forget the thickest cream clinging to the carton because we need the fat to whip the cream decently.
• If desired, you can make the cake in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
