Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, juice included
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 box angel food cake mix

Frosting Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • Chopped pistachios to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Then, grease or spray a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking after baking.
  2. Combine Cake Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the dry angel food cake mix, one box of pistachio instant pudding mix, the eggs, vegetable oil, and the crushed pineapple along with all its juice.
  3. Mix the Batter: Use a whisk or an electric mixer to thoroughly blend the ingredients until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  6. Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk the second box of pistachio instant pudding mix with cold whole milk until it starts to thicken.
  7. Complete Frosting: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the thickened pudding mixture until well combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  8. Frost and Chill: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the frosting to set.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for added texture and presentation. Slice and enjoy your Tropical Pistachio Bliss Cake.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent the topping from melting.
  • Use fresh or high-quality instant pudding mix for best flavor.
  • Chilling the cake allows the frosting to set and flavors to meld, so do not skip this step.
  • Storage: Keep the cake refrigerated and consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pistachios and substitute with toasted coconut flakes for garnish.
