• Milk (enough to make glaze)

Instructions:

2. Mixing the Batter:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, and water.
   • Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, scraping the sides of the bowl often to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
   • Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and creamy.

3. Incorporating Poppy Seeds:

   • Stir in the poppy seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

4. Baking:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

5. Cooling and Glazing:

   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
   • Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan using a knife, then gently remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Preparing the Glaze:

   • Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze by combining powdered sugar with enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency.
   • Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides.

7. Serving:

   • Slice the cake and serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
