This is the recipe that has been in my family for years, but the only difference is that you should by white cake mix and not yellow. That way the yellow cake mix doesn't over power the pistachio, it's excellent! Hope this helps!

I added as suggested a tsp of almond extract and some slivered almonds. I used a white cake mix instead of yellow and it was very good. I set the timer for an hour in the oven but found it was ready to come out after about 40 minutes.

As the submitter suggested, I made this cake for St. Patrick's Day because I was looking for a green dessert. It was quick, easy and quite delicious.

this was delicious! the crust was nice and chewy while the inside was very moist. i used yellow cake that had pudding in the mix, i think that added to the moistness. i also added a teaspoon of almond extract. i didn't make the glaze, the cake is just fine on its own!

BE SURE AND REDUCE THE BAKING TIME!!! I followed the recipe exactly and the taste is very good, however the cake was extremely over baked! Next time I would follow the baking directions that are listed on the cake mix box. I would also add some almond extact to the cake as well as the glaze.

This is a nice, moist cake that got great reviews when I shared it with a group of friends. The batter ends up more yellow than green once baked, but since I tinted the glaze a pretty green, it was much appreciated as St. Patrick's Day treat!

Wonderfully moist and flavorful! It cooked in 68 minutes. I added a tsp of almond flavoring and a little cinnamon to the batter. Also instead of the glaze I dusted it with powdered sugar. The crust is great on this cake; maybe I'll add walnuts next time. Lastly, if you want a deeper green for holiday flair add about 7 drops of green food coloring to your batter. Thanks for the recipe, I will make it again.
