Easy Pistachio Tube Cake
Mixes make this light cake easy, and a fluted tube pan gets it holiday party-ready. Go for the pistachios on top—the extra crunch is worth it. —Dina Crowell, Fredericksburg, Virginia

Followed it exactly as written. I always do the first time I make any new recipe, as I find I’m in a much better position to then adjust it to my family’s liking. That being said, I couldn’t even add a picture because it didn’t last that long! 100% serious!

I have a similar recipe from an old magazine that uses 2 boxes of pudding and have been making it for years and it is a wonderful cake everyone loves and ask to make it over and over. Very light.
I give this cake 0 stars. I am an experienced baker and made this cake twice today. Both times with fresh ingredients and both times while cooking it looked wonderful, but when I took it out of the oven within three minutes it fell. I am so disappointed today being St Patrick's day I wanted a green dessert and this sounded like a good one. Any suggestions???
This cake is light and moist, it was a big hit at my Ladies Club meeting! I am making one for Easter now.
I am a pistachio fanatic and love almost anything made with it. This is going to be made again and again in my house. Everyone loved it. You can dress it up as mamaknowsbest said below but I really don't think it needed it. It was delicious on its own and was really good for breakfast the next morning. :-)
This is a fantastic cake that is moist and light! A great alternative to heavy deserts. A simple way to dress up this cake is with a light frosting. One box of pistachio pudding mix, 1 1/4 cups 1 % milk and a package of Dream Whip. Whip for a few minutes with the electric mixer until soft peaks form. As a volunteer food editor for Taste of Home I enjoy making recipes that guests ask for seconds!
