Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 box white cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
  • 1 packet Dream Whip whipped topping mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract

Frosting

  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
  • 1 packet Dream Whip whipped topping mix

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine white cake mix, one package of instant pistachio pudding mix, one packet of Dream Whip mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and almond extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides, then beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Bake cake: Pour the green batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-28 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean. Remove from oven and let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
  4. Make frosting: In a separate mixing bowl, combine cold milk, the second package of instant pistachio pudding mix, and the second packet of Dream Whip mix. Beat on low speed until just combined, scrape the bowl, then beat on high speed for 4-6 minutes until the frosting is fluffy and forms soft peaks.
  5. Frost and serve: Once the cake has fully cooled, spread the pistachio frosting evenly over the top with a spatula. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • You can substitute Dream Whip with homemade whipped topping if desired, but Dream Whip gives a distinct fluffy texture ideal for this recipe.
  • Almond extract adds a subtle complementary flavor; omit if allergic or substitute with vanilla extract.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the frosting fresh.
