Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (1 oz) Sugar-free pistachio pudding mix
- 1 box (15.25 oz) Yellow cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Low-fat whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachio pudding mix and yellow cake mix. Whisk them together to ensure they are well blended.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and water to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
If desired, spread low-fat whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake and sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for garnish.
