How to Make Pistachio Cake And Frosting

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) pistachio cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup Sprite, and 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until batter is smooth.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. For the frosting: In a medium bowl, combine 1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix with 1 cup cold milk. Whisk until smooth.
  8. Gently fold in 8 oz of whipped topping (Cool Whip or equivalent).
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
