Ingredients

  • 1 13.25-ounce box yellow cake mix
  • 2 3.4-ounce boxes instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup olive oil can use vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½-1 cup chopped pistachios

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, add the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, water, and sour cream until well combined.
  • Gently stir in the pistachios (leaving some back to sprinkle on top) In a separate small bowl, stir together the sugar and cinnamon.
  • Grease two regular-size loaf pans (9X5) and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly on the bottom and sides.
  • Pour half the batter into each pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle remaining pistachios on top.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaves cool completely before adding the glaze.
  • To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and vanilla. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
