Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (15.25 ounce) box white cake mix
¾ cup vegetable oil
1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix
3 eggs
1 cup club soda, 7UP or ginger ale
½ cup finely chopped pecans
½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
2 envelopes (2.6 oz total) Dream Whip
1 ¼ cups cold milk
1 small box instant pistachio pudding mix
½ cup sweetened coconut flakes
½ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, pudding mix, eggs and soda. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, and then on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes (scraping the sides of the bowl regularly). Fold in the pecans and coconut. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish.
Bake the cake at 350 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, prepare the frosting.
In a large bowl, combine Dream Whip and cold milk. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form (about 4-5 minutes). Add pudding mix and beat until fluffy. Spread on cake and sprinkle coconut and pecans over top.
