½ cup whole milk, at room temperature

3 large egg whites, at room temperature

1teaspoon vanilla extract

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

AFor this size recipe, I would not use the whole box, only 1/4 of it. I also think you'd have better luck in preparing the pudding and folding it in at the end. Test and let us know what you come up with. Have fun!

AYour question as for taste? That is subjective to each individual. For me, I'd either swirl in pistachio paste to the batter, or add the paste to the buttercream. If I was feeling really froggy, I'd make pistachio buttercream where you infuse them to the milk a la Warren Brown's peanut buttercream. I don't think the pistachio pudding would taste bad, I think the flavor ( and color) of the small amount of pudding into your recipe will not be very noticeable to someone tasting that did not know what you added. But hey, that little bit of something different that someone can't put their finger on, may be what sets your cakes apart and want others strive for. If you add too much pudding to get a real flavor out of it, to your recipe, my guess is that you will not like the other aspects of the cake.
