Pistachio cake is the last thing I would have thought to make for St. Patrick’s Day, but here we are! It just never occurred to me that pistachios could be used in pastries. Oh, and I guess they are technically green.

Now that I know about how deliciously light and moist this confection is, pistachio cake seems to me the obvious choice for St. Paddy’s because it brings out the green of the holiday.

Michelle Walker (@michelleconnellyw) has an easy-to-follow recipe for pistachio cake that she’s sharing on TikTok.

Dig into this dessert after you have finished your plate of corned beef and cabbage. Better grab a slice before the leprechauns get to it!

So if you want to bake a St. Paddy’s cake that everyone will love (including the leprechauns), check out the recipe below.

Cake Ingredients:

-1 box of white cake mix

-1 cup of oil

-1 cup of milk

Directions:

Start by mixing the cake mix, pistachio pudding, eggs, oil, and milk in a bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth. If you would like, add a few drops of green food coloring.

Next, pour the batter into a nine-by-thirteen baking pan and bake it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about thirty minutes. Let the cake cool completely before adding the topping. To make the topping, you’ll need another pack of pistachio pudding and a half cup of milk. Combine the ingredients in a bowl.

Once that’s mixed, add in one tub of Cool Whip and mix well. Finally, spread the topping over the cake, slice it, and enjoy!

You can also sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for a bit of crunch and texture. It’s a great addition but not necessary. And how about a scoop of pistachio ice cream to go with it? You can’t ever go wrong with ice cream. Pistachio cake will become your all-time favorite and guarantee that you’ll have a happy St. Patrick’s Day.
