My aunt makes this pistachio cake....with one twist. She makes a very light and wonderful frosting for the cake using another box of pistachio pudding and cool whip mixed together. Makes a wonderful cake even MORE wonderful!

Brought this cake to work on St. Patrick's Day everyone loved it! Very moist, good flavor. My husband didn't think it was green enough so we added a little more green food coloring to the batter. May add some extra pistachios to the batter next time too. Will definitely make again!
