While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, the remaining box of instant pistachio pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.

Let the cake cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
