Pistachio Cake Recipes

I used the Pillsbury Reduced Sugar cake mix and sugar free pistachio pudding.

1. Preheat the oven to 180oC/350F/Gas 4
2. Grease and line a 20cm/8 inch loose bottom cake tin
3. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pistachios thoroughly
4. Mix the vegetable oil, lemon juice, and water together and mix into the dry ingredients. Stir in the lemon and orange zest.
5. Pour into the cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and risen
6. Puncture the cake with a skewer and drizzle the maple syrup over. Leave the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to finish cooling - be careful when handling the cake as it is delicate.
7. When cool, make the icing by mixing the lemon juice to the icing sugar, gradually, until you have a smooth, spreadable and slightly runny icing (you might not need all the lemon juice). Use a spatula or palette knife to spread over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top and decorate with orange segments if desired.

This is not a healthy version of this dessert, this is a delicious treat for special occasions.

Soo Lite and Refreshing

I love pistachio pudding cake, but every recipe I've ever been able to find has you making it from a prepared box of cake mix. I wanted to make my cake a bit healthier, so used the following recipe with things most people already have in their cupboard!

Light and Fluffy Cake with actually Nutritional information. Very Low in Fat, but great flavor

This is a "Kitchen Kupboard" Classic. I found an old recipe for Pistachio Marble Cake, but only had a Spice Cake Mix on hand. Plus, I thought chopped walnuts on top of the cake would make a tasty addition.

Also good with Pillsbury Reduced Sugar Chocolate Frosting; Can also use carob chips, which saves a little on calories, fat and sugar.

Super yummy!

Same as the other one I submitted but with healthy substitutes!

A yummy cake.
