Recipe

Are you looking for a festive St. Patricks Day dessert? This lovely cake is just your ticket to impress whoever you make it for! The inside is green and brown with a mild pistachio flavor. I don't like pistachio pudding but this is one of my favorite recipes!

• 1 pkg instant pistachio pudding

Chocolate Frosting

Mix all ingredients for 2 minutes (except the chocolate syrup). Put 2/3 of the mixture into a greased bunt pan. Add the chocolate syrup to the remaining batter and mix well. Pour this on top of the first mixture. Bake at 350-degrees for 50 minute or until done. Let cool for 10 minutes; invert onto a plate. When cool, drizzle with chocolate frosting.
