Green Velvet Pistachio Dump Cake
Darlings, let’s talk velvet cakes. Red, blue, pink—been there, done that. But GREEN velvet? Oh, honey, now we’re talking high fashion in cake form!
Think of this as the St. Patrick’s Day party your taste buds didn’t know they needed, but will be begging for year-round.
This Green Velvet Pistachio Dump Cake is soft, fluffy, nutty, and just a little bit extra—which is why it’s perfect for us.
With a sneaky pistachio pudding mix for flavor and color, plus a generous sprinkling of chopped pistachios on top, this dessert is here to crash the velvet cake scene and steal the crown.
And let’s not forget the dump cake magic. No fussy layers, no complicated frosting—just dump, mix (a little), and let the oven work its wizardry.
Serve it warm, topped with whipped cream or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, and watch it disappear before your very eyes.
