The traditional frosting for this cake is a Cool Whip frosting. If you google "pistachio cake" and "cool whip," you should be able to find it. Or go to Cooks.com and type in Pistachio Cake. I used a different frosting for mine (the recipe is at the bottom of the post). It was really yummy, but a lot more complicated than the traditional Cool Whip frosting. I hope this helps! ~Erindessert girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381564480754178544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617030.post-49771197438055899152012-05-31T08:33:52.008-04:002012-05-31T08:33:52.008-04:00I recently had a wonderful pistachio cake on a vis...I recently had a wonderful pistachio cake on a visit to Florida at a restaurant called C'est la Vie. It was flat like a tort, dense, a brilliant green, and incredibly moist. If you are in Sarasota I highly recommend it. I have been hunting the web looking for something like it to try and replicate this cake. Maybe this one will work, the color is right, I'm just worried about the density and there was no frosting. I am not an experienced baker so I am open to any tips. A box cake might be just what I need. If you have happened to try this cake from C'est la Vie, how do you think they did it?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521742874181587742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617030.post-28438266387939676802012-01-30T12:07:37.997-05:002012-01-30T12:07:37.997-05:00Yay!

You whip the cream until it's getting thick but not in peaks yet, then add the pudding mix and whip until it's done. So you could do a double-pistachio cake. I think it was 250 mL whipping cream to one packet jello pudding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617030.post-34960639278024608042010-06-04T14:53:52.981-04:002010-06-04T14:53:52.981-04:00Lorraine: It's nice to know that I'm not t...Lorraine: It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with a pistachio obsession!dessert girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381564480754178544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617030.post-85247774227743926082010-05-27T23:07:32.328-04:002010-05-27T23:07:32.328-04:00Ooooh, the cake looks really yum!Ooooh, the cake looks really yum!caitlynhttp://knitterinthekitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22617030.post-3942958270263240162010-05-27T00:08:53.958-04:002010-05-27T00:08:53.958-04:00Love that neon color.
