Ingredients

For the Cake

• • 1 box of yellow cake mix (or angel food cake mix as an alternative): Opt for a trusted brand, as this serves as the foundation of your cake. If you prefer a lighter texture, using an angel food cake mix is a great alternative.
  • 1 small box (3.4oz) of pistachio pudding mix: This gives the cake its distinctive nutty flavor and pale green color.

• • ½ cup of vegetable oil (such as canola or vegetable oil): This helps in keeping the cake moist and adds to its overall texture.
  • 3 eggs: Fresh eggs are essential for binding the ingredients together and adding richness to the cake.
  • 1 15 ounce can of crushed pineapple, undrained (or with juices included): The pineapple juice is crucial for the cake’s moisture and flavor, so ensure you do not drain it.

For the Frosting

• • 1 ¼ cup of milk: Whole milk or a combination of half-and-half and heavy cream works well for the frosting, adding a creamy texture.
  • 1 small package (3.4oz) of pistachio pudding mix: This is used to create the creamy and flavorful frosting.
  • 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream (optional): Adding sour cream can enhance the richness and tanginess of the frosting.
  • 1 (8 ounce) package of whipped topping (such as Cool Whip): This adds a light and fluffy texture to the frosting.

• Chopped nuts for garnish if desired: Chopped pistachios can be used to add a decorative touch and an extra nutty flavor.
