Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box White cake mix
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) Instant pistachio pudding mix
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cups Water
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 container (8 oz) Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 0.5 cups Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
- 3 drops Green food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or a bundt cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, 1 box of instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water.
If desired, add green food coloring to the batter for a more vibrant green hue. Mix the ingredients with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes if using a 9x13-inch pan, or 50-55 minutes if using a bundt pan. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by whisking together the remaining box of instant pistachio pudding mix and the milk in a medium-sized bowl. Once thickened, gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth.
Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting. If using a bundt pan, invert the cake onto a serving plate before frosting.
Spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cooled cake. Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top as a garnish, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Jello Pistachio Pudding Cake!
