With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cake is the perfect green treat! This cake is much like a traditional chocolate chip pound cake but with a hint of pistachio and almond. The pistachio pudding mix gives the cake a green color, and the flavor is subtle and delicious! This recipe came from an Arkansas friend during our newlywed days, and the cake is always a hit wherever I take it!
Chocolate Chip Pistachio Cake is super simple to throw together. Basically dump the ingredients, mix, and bake!

1 box Pillsbury white cake mix with “pudding in the mix”
1 box Pistachio pudding mix

3/4 cup oil
3/4 cup water
