Ingredients:

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 20 oz can crushed pineapple with juices

Frosting:

  • 8 oz tub cool whip, thawed
  • ⅔ cup whole milk
  • 1 3.4oz box pistachio pudding
  • Pistachios, chopped for decoration

Instructions:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cake Ensemble:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix, pistachio pudding mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and the can of crushed pineapple with its juices. Stir until the ingredients form a smooth, well-incorporated batter.
  3. Baking Brilliance:

  6. Garnish with Grandeur:
    • Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the frosting, adding a visual appeal that complements the cake’s nutty essence.
