Sweet pistachio loaf cake (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Bread Base
01 -
15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (white works too, but yellow has better flavor)
02 -
Two 3.4 ounce boxes of instant pistachio pudding mix
03 -
3 large eggs
04 -
1/4 cup vegetable oil or canola oil
05 -
1 cup full-fat sour cream
06 -
1/8 cup carbonated water (regular water works in a pinch)
→ Sweet Icing
07 -
2 cups powdered sugar
08 -
1/4 cup milk
09 -
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F and position the rack in the center. Line two 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/2" loaf pans with parchment paper for easy removal later.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, pistachio pudding mixes, eggs, oil, carbonated water, and sour cream. Mix everything until you have a smooth, well-blended batter.
03 -
Divide the pistachio batter evenly between your two parchment-lined loaf pans.
04 -
Bake for 45-50 minutes, though it might take slightly longer depending on your oven. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of both loaves comes out clean.
05 -
Let the loaves cool in their pans for about 10 minutes first. Then lift them out using the parchment paper and allow them to cool for another 30 minutes before adding the icing.
06 -
While the bread cools, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract in a small bowl until you get a thick, smooth icing.
07 -
Drizzle the sweet icing over both loaves and let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing. Then enjoy your homemade pistachio bread!
