How to Make Chocolate Pistachio Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place rack in the center.
  2. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Tap out any excess flour.
  3. Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup shelled pistachios in the bottom of the pan.
  4. Set the prepared pan aside.
  5. In a large bowl, combine: 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs.
  6. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, until the batter is thick and smooth.
  8. Remove 1 cup of batter to a separate bowl.
  9. Add 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (or melted chocolate) to the smaller bowl and stir until well combined.
  10. Pour the remaining (white) batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  11. Carefully pour the chocolate batter over the top, avoiding the edges of the pan.
  12. Swirl the chocolate batter into the white batter using a dinner knife or toothpick for a marble effect.
  13. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly touched.
  14. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
  15. Run a long, sharp knife around the edges of the cake and invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely (about 20 more minutes).
