Thas was excellent! Very moist, turned out perfect. My family loved it, and I have used the recipe with other pudding flavors that turned out great as well

The Cake was very moist, but did not taste like pistachio. Next time I will try to add two boxes of instant pistachio and up my extract to 1tsp.

This cake is a hit every time. I add 1/2 bag of mimi semi sweet chocolate chips. It gives it a little extra flavor.

I made this cake with a glaze on it instead of the powdered sugar flavored with butter & nut flavoring which gave it a great flavor.

I have baked this cake twice and it was a hit every time. Instead of powdered sugar, my husband wanted frosting. So I made cream cheese frosting with powdered sugar and almond extract and it was delicious with the cake.
