Instructions

Grease a 9 inch Bundt pan and set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350℉.

Beat the sugar with the eggs, adding one egg at a time.

Add the butter. Mix with an electric mixer and whip for about 3 minutes until light and creamy.

In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder with flour.

Soak the pistachios and hazelnuts in water and leave them for a minute. Transfer them into the flour mixture and stir them in. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Leave out about 2 tablespoons of pistachios for garnish.

Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture slowly until fully incorporated.

Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake for about 40 minutes.

Let the cake cool completely before adding the glaze.

Remove cake from the pan.

For the glaze, mix Pistachio instant pudding mix with 1½ cups of milk.

Once it is set, spread it on the top of the Bundt cake and garnish with the remaining pistachios.

Pudding Mix Magic 🧙
The Jello Pistachio Instant Pudding mix is the secret weapon for adding intense pistachio flavor and ensuring a supremely moist cake texture.
Nut Toasting Technique 🥜
Always toast your pistachios and hazelnuts before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty flavor and add a delightful crunch.
Bundt Pan Prep Pro 🍰
Thoroughly grease and flour your bundt pan, paying extra attention to the intricate ridges to ensure a clean, perfect cake release.
Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing to create a smoother, more evenly incorporated batter with better rise.
Glaze Consistency Trick 💧
For the perfect glaze, start with a thick consistency and add liquid (milk or cream) gradually to achieve the ideal drizzling texture.
