Mrs. Top Gun's Momma's Pistachio cake

My Momma's famous pistachio cake

Growing up, there were two recipes that intimidated the crap out of me... My momma's enchiladas and her pistachio cake. Sounds silly, but this cake was always a 'mystery' to me! I never understood how she managed to make is so darn moist, light, airy, and delicious! So, without further hesitation, here's my Momma's recipe.

-White cake mix

 -1 c. water,

-1/2 c. oil

-1/2 c. milk

- 2 pkgs JELLO pistachio pudding

- 5 Eggs

Mix on low five min.  Pour into greased bundt pan. The trick to this delicious cake?  Putting air in it!! Bake

at 350, and  watch it like a HAWK.  You do not want it to be hard, as this cake tends
to harden up. Don't be afraid to pull it out at a soft touch!!

Powdered Sugar Glaze:

This cake is already sweet, so no need for over powering full on frosting!

-2 cups of Powdered sugar

-2 tbsp of water

-1 tbsp of butter or margarine

-1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.

Melt the butter in the microwave. Let cool for a few minutes, then add to the powdered sugar. Mix, adding the water and vanilla extract. You can add more vanilla or less, depending upon how you like the taste. ALLOW THE CAKE TO COOL COMPLETELY. DO NOT pour the glaze over while the cake is the least bit hot. The glaze will melt, and run down the side of the cake, pooling in the middle. 

Enjoy!!
