    Ingredients

    • 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix

    • 1 cup all-purpose flour

    • 1 cup granulated sugar

    • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

    • 1 cup coconut milk

    • 4 large eggs

    • 1 cup shredded coconut

    • 0.5 cup chopped pistachios

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • 0.25 teaspoon salt

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. This will ensure the cake does not stick.
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio pudding mix, flour, sugar, and baking powder, stirring until they are evenly mixed.
    • Add in the melted butter, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Beat well until smooth and thoroughly combined.
    • Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped pistachios into the mixture. Stir gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly using a spatula. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cake to cool in the baking dish for at least 20 minutes before serving, so it sets and becomes easier to slice.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
