Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Prepare Pans: Spray 2 layer cake pans or a tube pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant pistachio pudding mix, eggs, powdered sugar, and milk. Mix until well combined.
-
Pour Batter: Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pans, distributing evenly.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 60 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.

Prepare Glaze: While the cake is baking, mix powdered sugar with just enough lemon lime soda to make a paste. This will be used as a glaze for the hot cake.

Prepare Frosting: In another mixing bowl, combine the dream whip, instant pistachio pudding mix, and milk. Mix until peaks form, creating a fluffy frosting.
-
Frost Cake: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting. Once cooled, frost the cakes generously with the prepared frosting.
-
Optional Toppings: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle the frosted cake with nuts and coconut if desired.
