Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan. Lightly grease a 12 cm round cake tin or a 500 ml mini loaf tin and line the base with baking paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk 70 g of dry cake mix with 15 g of instant pistachio pudding mix so the powders are evenly blended and there are no lumps.
  3. Add 1 beaten egg, 1 tbsp of vegetable oil and 70 ml of lemon-lime soda. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer on medium for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl once, until the batter is smooth, thickened and pale green. Fold in 10 g of chopped pecans with a spatula.
