Instructions
- Mix pudding and cake mix with a wire whisk. Add eggs, sour cream, milk, undrained pineapple, vanilla extract, coconut and nuts. Mix well with spoon. (Could use mixer, too). Spray a 9 inch bundt pan or could use a 9 x 13 inch pan with cooking spray.

- I topped with a basic powdered sugar glaze and pistachios
Notes
This cake is so good you could just sprinkle with powdered sugar. I used a can of whipped vanilla frosting, melted for about 12 seconds in the microwave and poured over the cake. Then added some coconut and nuts sprinkled on top. You could use another package of pistachio pudding mixed with cool whip for the frosting. You could also mix together some powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract to drizzle over the cake.
