Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant pistachio pudding mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined and smooth.
2
Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
3
While the cake cools, prepare the cream cheese frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
5
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pistachios for garnish. Slice and serve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different size pan?

Yes, you can use two 8-inch round pans, but adjust baking time to about 25-30 minutes. Always check with a skewer for doneness.

How should I store this cake?

Due to the cream cheese frosting, this cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.

Can I make this cake without the green color?

The pistachio pudding mix naturally imparts a light green color. If you prefer no green, you could try a vanilla pudding mix, but it would no longer be a pistachio cake.
