1 - 3oz. pkg. instant pistachio pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup almond liqueur (Amaretto) or rum
1/2 t almond extract or vanilla
1/4 t green food color (about)
Chocolate icing
Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, liqueur, almond extract and food color as desired in large bowl. Mix. Then beat with electric mixer 5 minutes. Pour into well greased and floured 12 cup fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool on rack. Ice with chocolate icing. For icing use 1 or 2 squares melted chocolate, 1/4 cup butter 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 t almond extract.
This is really pretty with the green cake and chocolate combo! I just baked it as a layer cake as once again I don't have a tube pan...one day! I used rum, and you can taste it but it's not overwhelming. I thought this had a nice flavor, and the chocolate was a nice contrast with the cake.
