Instructions
To make the cake:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Spray a 9″x 13″ baking dish with nonstick spray.

Then add in eggs, oil and milk. Stir just until combined.
Stir in about 6 to 8 drops of green food coloring until fully incorporated.
Pour into prepared baking dish.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes. If you insert a toothpick into it, it should come out clean when done.

Pour instant pistachio pudding mix into a mixing bowl. Add in ½ cup cold milk. Stir until combined.

Put in a few drops of green food coloring to really bring out that green color. About 5 drops or so.
Spread frosting onto cooled cake.
