Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 package Pudding Mix (vanilla or pistachio)
Toppings and Flavor
- 1 cup Fresh Raspberry Sauce
- 1/2 cup Chopped Pistachios
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, salt, milk, and vegetable oil. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
- Mix Batter: Continue mixing the batter until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency, which should take an additional minute or two.
- Incorporate Raspberry Sauce: Gently swirl in the fresh raspberry sauce using a butter knife, zig-zagging through the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Add Pistachios: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly on top of the batter to add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For a lactose-free version, substitute milk with a non-dairy milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
- Use vanilla pudding mix if nut allergies are a concern.
- To reduce sugar content, consider decreasing the granulated sugar amount slightly without compromising texture.
- If fresh raspberry sauce is not available, mashed frozen berries make an excellent substitute.
- For a nut-free option, omit pistachios or substitute with sunflower seeds.
