How to Make Pistachio Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and pistachio extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans.
  4. Pour 1/3 of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the pecan mixture.
  5. Repeat layers: add another 1/3 of the batter, then another 1/3 of the pecan mixture. Finish with the remaining batter and top with the remaining pecan mixture.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
