Bake for 60 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out dry. Cool cake by flipping it upside down on a cooling rack. Cool completely to room temperature before pouring the frosting on top.

Making the White Chocolate Ganache

To make the white chocolate ganache you will want to mix 1 part cream to 2 parts chocolate. You can warm up cream to boiling point and then pour over chocolate, stir until the chocolate dissolves.

If it doesn't dissolve fully, you can microwave for 20 seconds at a time until the chocolate is fully dissolved.

If it is to runny, let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours (2 hours) until it solidifies to a point where you can pour it but it doesn't run down the cake.

Top Tip

Making chocolate ganache can get tricky and you might think that you failed. If your chocolate and cream mixture appears dry once mixed together, just warm up more cream and add a little at a time until the mixture smooths out.

HINT: Add hot cream to your chocolate until you get a smooth and creamy texture.

Substitutions and Variations

You can vary the flavors and the frosting to come up with some pretty interesting combinations, like:

  • Chocolate Chips - add chocolate chips to the batter to make a chocolate chip pistachio pudding bundt cake
  • Chocolate Ganache - substitute a chocolate ganache for the white ganache frosting
  • Layer Cake - turn this pistachio bundt cake into a two layer cake with frosting
  • Gluten Free - make it gluten free by using gluten free flour (note you may need to adjust the recipe)
  • Powdered Sugar - if you don't feel like making chocolate ganache, you can skip this step and dust the cake with powdered sugar

If you know how to make this pistachio pudding unique or suit there diet, go for it! Let me know how it turns out in the comments.

Equipment Recommended

Equipment has a big impact on how a recipe turns out. For this recipe you will need a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Measuring spoons and cups will also come in handy. You will also need small bowls to hold ingredients when pouring into the stand mixer.
