How to Make Pistachio Poke Cake St Patty's Day Cake

  1. Preheat oven to the temperature specified on your cake mix box. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your chosen cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (usually around 30-35 minutes).
  3. While the cake is still warm, use a small spoon handle or skewer to poke numerous holes evenly across the top.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 cup milk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Immediately pour the pudding mixture evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  6. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
  7. Frost the cake with your desired topping (Cool Whip, pudding whipped cream, or your favorite frosting).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set. Enjoy!
