Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Grease two 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2" loaf pans.

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour half the batter into the loaf pans. Sprinkle with half the topping. Pour the remainder of the batter into the two pans. With a knife, swirl through the batter to mix in the topping and give a swirl effect. Sprinkle the top with the remaining topping. Bake for 1 hour.

Makes 2 loaves.

MY NOTES: I didnt have all the ingredients at hand, so I made it with these substitutions. I used regular yellow cake mix instead of the butter recipe cake mix and used almond extract instead of pistachio oil. (Gotta find me some of that!) I also added a bit of butter flavoring and clear vanilla flavoring.

** The chopped pistachios were my addition...I sprinkled the chopped pistachios over the top layer of topping and pressed in slightly before baking.
