St. Patrick's Day Mini Cakes

I make this green cake every single year during the month of March in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Yes, we celebrate St. Patrick's Day here. And we may or may not have green milk, green pancakes, green eggs, and green toilet water in our house. Ya know, the toilet water doesn't really fit in with the green food, does it? No, but it is green none the less. On to the green cake. This is my mother-in-law's recipe for a super moist almond flavored pistachio pudding bundt cake. It's very easy to make. Throw in all of the ingredients, turn on the mixer for four minutes, and then while you have your food coloring out, go do your business in the toilets. Nothing like multitasking to keep the holiday stress low.

Ingredients:

1 package yellow cake mix

1 small package pistachio instant pudding

1/4 cup oil

7 drops green food coloring

4 eggs

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 cup flour

Directions:

Add all ingredients to mixing bowl. Beat for four minutes on medium speed. Pour into a greased and floured mini bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not under bake. Cool in pan for 10 minutes and carefully remove. Cool on wire rack and dust with powdered sugar.

*To make in a large bundt pan: Pour batter in greased and floured pan. Bake at 350 degrees on center rack in oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes and invert onto wire rack. Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
