Pistachio Cake

This cake is moist and flavorful.  I made two of these last weekend.  My husband I both each brought one to work, and  both offices were filled with happy campers!  
To make this cake you will need:
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 package of instant pistachio pudding mix
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups of water
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
7 drops of green food coloring

1.)  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan.
2.)  In a large bowl mix together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in eggs, water, oil, almond extract and green food coloring. Blend ingredients, then beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.
3.)  Pour into prepared 10 inch tube pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until cake springs back when lightly pressed. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

You can either sprinkle it with confectionery sugar, or make a glaze with confectionery sugar, milk and a little almond extract.
Major hint.  If you are using a cake mix that states there is pudding in the mix, only use 1 cup of water.
