I love making many of these special loaves to give away for the holidays. They also freeze well, so it is easy to pull out for unexpected guests. —Judy Fischer, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 package white cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine dry cake and pudding mixes. Add the eggs, sour cream, water and oil; beat until blended (batter will be thick).
  2. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Spoon half the batter into 2 greased 8x4-in. loaf pans; sprinkle each with 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar. Top with remaining batter; sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
