Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 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

  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) pistachio instant pudding mix
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Topping

  • Chopped pistachios to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray or grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Combine Cake Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the dry angel food cake mix, one box of pistachio instant pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and the can of crushed pineapple including its juice.
  3. Mix the Batter: Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend all the ingredients together until the batter is smooth, silky, and free of lumps.
  4. Transfer and Bake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  5. Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Do not frost until the cake is fully cooled to prevent melting.
  6. Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, combine the second box of pistachio instant pudding mix with 2/3 cup cold whole milk. Beat until the mixture thickens slightly.
  7. Complete Frosting: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the thickened pudding mixture until well blended but do not overmix to maintain fluffiness.
  8. Frost and Chill: Spread the pistachio whipped frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld and frosting set.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios generously on top for added texture and visual appeal. Slice and enjoy your Tropical Pistachio Bliss Cake.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to avoid melting the whipped topping.
  • You can substitute light whipped topping to reduce fat if desired, but it may slightly change texture.
  • Chilling the frosted cake for longer than 2 hours can enhance flavor and moisture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best taste.
