  • 1 (3.4 oz) box pistachio pudding mix (for frosting)
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  4. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely.
  7. To make the frosting, mix the second box of pudding mix with milk until it thickens.

Notes

  • You can substitute vanilla pudding mix for a more neutral flavor.
  • Use fresh whipped cream in place of Cool Whip for a homemade touch.
  • Chill the cake longer for a firmer, sliceable texture.
