This cake uses a yellow cake mix, instant pistachio pudding and it's covered with a pistachio-flavored whipped topping.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

So green and sooo good! This cake is extra moist because of the addition of the pudding... which in our book makes it extra TASTY! You can double the amount of icing for full cake coverage.
