How To Make Pistachio Bundt Cake
Last Updated on: 17th March 2025, 06:08 pm
The Bundt cake derives in part from a European brioche-like cake called Gugelhupf. In the north of Germany and the southern Anglia peninsula, Gugelhupf is traditionally known as Bundkuchen. This recipe is easy to make and you can have it ready on the table in an hour. It takes 20 minutes to prepare the recipe and 40 minutes of baking time in the oven. The Pistachio Bundt cake is enough to serve 8 people. If you want to make more, you can adjust the recipe as needed. You can also make this with an alternative glaze or with no glaze at all.
What You Need To Make This
- 250g of self-raising flour
- 1 stick (8 tbsp) butter
- 3 eggs
- 200g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 125g of pistachios
- 90g of hazelnuts
- 1 pack of Jello pistachio instant pudding (available on Amazon)
- 3/4 pint of milk
How To Make Pistachio Bundt Cake
Firstly you need to grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter or margarine. Also, you need to preheat your oven to 180c. If you have a fan-assisted oven, be wary that cooking times could be different.
Beat the sugar with eggs by adding one egg at a time. Add the butter and mix it in by hand or by using an electric mixer for about 3 minutes until light and creamy.
In a separate bowl mix the baking powder with flour. Soak the the pistachio and hazelnuts in water and leave them for a minute before you transfer them into flour. Stir the Pistachios and hazelnuts in to the flour. You need to leave a couple of tbsp of pistachios out for garnish. Soaking the pistachios will prevent them from dropping into bottom of a cake.
Fold the flour, pistachios and hazelnuts into the batter slowly and mix until they are fully blended in. Pour the batter into the bundt cake and bake for about 40 minutes. When you have taken it out of the oven, you need it to cool.
To Prepare The Glaze
In a small bowl mix the jello pistachio instant pudding and whisk with the milk, as the instructions say on the packet. Once it is set you need to transfer it onto top of a bundt cake and garnish with remaining pistachios.
