Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-1/2" x 4-1/2" loaf pans by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, carbonated water, and sour cream, blending until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each about two-thirds full.
  4. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
  5. Allow the loaves to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely for another 30 minutes.
  6. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and almond extract until icing reaches desired consistency.
  7. Drizzle icing over cooled loaves and let it set for about 10 minutes before slicing.
