Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Mix Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, mix together the angel food cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, and crushed pineapple with juices. Beat until well combined.
Step 2: Bake the Cake: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
Step 3: Make the Frosting: To make the frosting, mix together the second box of pistachio pudding mix and whole milk until the mixture thickens. Gently fold in the cool whip until fully combined.
Step 4: Frost & Chill: Frost the cooled cake and chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with chopped pistachios for decoration if desired.
