Dads Pistachio Pudding Recipes

BEST EVER PISTACHIO PUDDING CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking pan by greasing it with butter and coating the inside of the pan evenly with a thin dusting of flour. Set aside.
• In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes).
• Add the pudding powder and whip on high speed until incorporated.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add a tiny amount of green gel food colouring after the eggs, if desired.
• Combine the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl or pyrex measuring cup and whisk with a fork to combine.
• Add the milk mixture to the butter mixture slowly, mixing well until combined.
• Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt, and mix on low speed just until the batter forms and no streaks of flour appear.
• Finish mixing by hand with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well combined (mixing with the electric mixer at this stage can cause over-mixing, so it's best to finish it gently by hand).
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 60 minutes (sometimes it requires 65 or even 70 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding the frosting.
• In a large bowl with a hand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy.
• Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time and whip on high speed until smooth.
• Add the half and half one spoonful at a time until a spreadable consistency is reached.
• Spread the frosting over the completely cooled cake and top with chopped pistachios, if desired.
• Slice and serve.
