How to Make Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite pistachio cake mix, one (3.4 oz) package of instant chocolate pudding mix, 4 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of pistachio extract.
  3. Beat on low speed until just moistened, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Increase speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally.
  5. In a separate bowl, toss 1 cup of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
  6. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cake batter.
  7. Sprinkle the top of the batter with approximately 1/4 cup of chocolate jimmies.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  11. Invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, remove the pan and enjoy your delicious Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cake!
