Ilene's Irish cake

Last week I received a professional magazine in the mail. While breezing through it, I found this recipe. It is good and a bit different. The pistachio, almond, and chocolate flavors combine to make a great taste. And, of course, St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner. What better way to help celebrate that with a green cake?

Let's get started, shall we? You will need the following:

1 box white cake mix
3 oz pkg pistachio pudding mix
3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup water
4 eggs
2 tsp almond extract
1 package of chocolate chips


Mix together the cake and pudding mixes. Mix until well combined. Add the water and oil, then add the eggs, one at a time. Finally, add the extract.

Pour only two-thirds of the batter into a well greased bundt pan.

Layer the chocolate chips over the batter in the pan and then spread the remaining batter over the chips.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. My cake was complete at 47 minutes, so do watch your cake towards the end of the baking time.

Enjoy!
