1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 pkg pistachio instant pudding
eggs (amount determined per cake mix box)
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
combine the first 6 ingredients in a large mixer bowl; blend. beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. pour 1/3 of the batter into a separate bowl; stir in 1/4 cup chocolate syrup. spoon this batter alternately with other batter into a greased and floured 10″ tube pan. zigzag a spatula through the batter in the pan to create a marbled effect. bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until the center springs back when lightly touched. cool 15 minutes before removing from the pan. drizzle remaining chocolate syrup on top.
