For an even more intense pistachio flavor, add a few drops of pistachio extract to the frosting. Ensure the cake is thoroughly cooled before frosting to prevent the whipped topping from melting. This cake must be kept refrigerated due to the whipped topping in the frosting. Garnish with chopped pistachios for an elegant presentation. For a less sweet cake, use a sugar-free cake mix and pudding mix.
