Such an unfortunate experience-- visually and in taste. The texture of this cake is not pleasant; something about using a pudding mix makes the crumb very dense, not like a cake at all and it collapses. Will NOT make this cake again.

Made this exactly as in recipe and used a bundt pan. Didn't use any frosting. I just sprinkled powdered sugar all over. Very moist and tasty. Will make again and again!

I used to packages of pistachio pudding and skipped the food coloring. Came out great! Thanks!

Used one of the customized versions in the reviews (with cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and sour cream only). Turned out very fluffy, almost like a sponge cake. Served it as a dinosaur cake (carved and decorated) for my son's birthday and got a lot of MMM's.

Not enough "Pistachio" flavor. It would be fun to serve at a St. Patrick's Day party because of the color.

I agree that there simply isn't enough pistachio flavor. Next time I will double the pistachio pudding., Also, I diced and toasted some pistachios and there them into the batter.. It helped!

We just came back from the Inaugural Cruise on the NCL Epic and they had a pistachio pound cake that my wife just loved. I tried this recipe as this was the closest I could find. This cake came out AWESOME.My wife it. The pudding kept it very moist and she was impressed. I used the sugar free pudding instead to try and cut a few calories.

I made this for my husband's St. Patrick's Day office party and I have never had so many requests for the recipe. Try it, you will LOVE it and it is sooooo easy.
