St. Patrick's Day Pistachio Bundt Cake

I made this cake in advance of St. Patick's Day to test if it would be worthy of that occassion. I was a little bit skeptical given the packaged ingredients, but it turned out wonderfully. Our dinner guests and our kids both loved it! When sliced, the inside of the cake has a nice green tint to it which is not visible in the photos I took but which makes it appropriate for St. Paddy's Day. If you want to be strengthen the connection, you could add a few drops of green food coloring to the glaze.
