Cake Batter: In a large bowl, stir together the dry cake mix, one box of the dry pudding mix, eggs, Sprite soda, oil, and almond extract. Mix together until well blended.
Proceed to fold in the 2 cups of pistachios, making sure to set aside 1/2 cup of nuts for the garnishing later.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the top of the cake mix.
Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean after being inserted into the center. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes in the pan before turning onto a cake round or serving dish and letting it cool completely.
Make Frosting: While the cake is cooking, combine the milk, the second box of dry pudding mix, and the envelope of Dream Whip in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix together slowly for one minute. Slowly increase the speed to high and whip together for 3-5 minutes. The frosting should be thick and creamy.
Assemble: Proceed to generously spoon the frosting over the top of the cake and cover well, then scatter the reserved crushed pistachios over the icing as a garnish. Slice, serve and enjoy!
