Pistachio Cake

Cake

• 1 box yellow cake mix
• 1 (3.4 oz.) box of pistachio pudding mix
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup lemon lime pop (You can use Sprite or Mountain Dew)
• 1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)
• Few drops of green food coloring (I usually don't add this but if you are really wanting a pop of green, go for it.)

Frosting

• 1 (3.4 oz) box of pistachio pudding mix
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• Same as above, feel free to add a few drops of green coloring but it is optional.

1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray or grease a 13 x 9 pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix all of the cake ingredients until fully combined.
3. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for about 25-35 minutes.
4. Around the 25 minute mark, stay close by and using a toothpick, keep checking until the center of the cake is done.
5. Pull cake out and let it cool completely. The cake needs to be cool before adding the frosting.
6. For the frosting...in another bowl add the cream and beat heavily until semi-stiff peaks form. Add the box of pudding mix and slowly fold everything together. Don't be aggressive with the mixing for this part, just gently fold in until mixed.
7. Pour over the cake and spread so the entire cake is covered. This should be kept in the fridge but can be out for a couple of hours.
