Blue Ribbon Recipe

This pistachio nut cake is a treat! The addition of pistachio pudding helps create a moist and flavorful cake. Club soda helps to give it a light and airy texture. The chopped pistachio nuts add a crunch and nutty flavor that complements the cake beautifully. Topped with a pistachio whipped topping frosting, helps add a punch of pistachio flavor.
