Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½1 cup chopped pistachios
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ⅛ cup water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • milk (for glaze, quantity adjusted for desired consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the correct temperature by the time you finish preparing the batter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and sour cream. Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon. Grease two regular loaf pans thoroughly, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on the bottom and sides of each pan to create a flavorful crust.
  4. Divide the batter equally between the two prepared loaf pans. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the loaves and allow them to cool completely.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, melted butter, almond extract, and vanilla extract. Gradually add milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze reaches your desired drizzling consistency.
  6. Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled loaves. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top for added texture and nutty flavor. Slice and serve your delicious pistachio bread, enjoying its moist crumb and sweet glaze.
