Put the eggs, oil and soda in a bowl, lay the cake and pudding mix on top and combine using a mixer. Grandma would grease and flour a 9x13" pan and that is certainly the easiest prep, but you can also do cupcakes with liners or any shape cake pans. For a 9x13" pan, bake for 45 minutes; for 9" round pans, bake for 30 minutes; for full size cupcakes, I toothpick test at 25 minutes and mini-cupcakes I check at 20 minutes. As long as a toothpick poked in the center of the cupcake comes out clean, they're done. Completely cool the cake on a wire rack and refrigerate it. This cake also freezes well for later use - just don't add the frosting until you're ready to serve. Now to make the topping. Using a mixer, beat the milk and both envelopes of whipped topping until stiff. Gradually add in the pistachio pudding mix and continue beating until well blended. Spread on the cool cake or cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes 12 servings By Rae Robison RECIPE FROM: https://www.northcoastjournal.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
