This chocolate pistachio bundt cake is a blend of rich chocolate flavors and earthy goodness in every bite. If you love pistachios then you're in for a real treat!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease and lightly flour inside of 10 or 12 cup bundt pan. Set aside.
In one bowl combine all of the ingredients for the chocolate cake batter, until smooth.
In another bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the pistachio cake batter until smooth and desired green color is achieved.
Scoop the batter from one bowl and place it into the bundt pan (about 2 cups). Make a small layer at the bottom of the pan and spread it out evenly.
Follow up with another small layer of the other cake flavor. Repeat until the bundt pan is ¾ of the way full.
Use a long wooden skewer or a butter knife to swirl throughout the cake for a marble look. *This step is optional.
You will have batter left over. Use that to make 6-8 cupcakes (they bake for about 25-30 minutes).
Bake cake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.
Place onto a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto the rack and removing the pan. Let cool completely.
Once cooled, prepare glaze by whisking together the ingredients until smooth.
Drizzle or spoon glaze over the cake. Garnish with pistachios.
Let rest about 5 minutes for the glaze to set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Muffins from Leftover Batter: Use leftover batter for 6-8 muffins in greased cups. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.Layer Placement and Cake Cooling: The bottom layer determines the outer color. For a chocolate outer layer, place it at the bottom, greasing the pan and dusting with cocoa powder. If using pistachio, dust with flour. Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.Storage and Freezing: Store in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature. Avoid adding pistachios to the glaze if making the cake in advance. Freeze the unglazed cake wrapped in plastic for up to 3 months. Thaw before adding the glaze and serving.
