Love this easy recipe!

I don't t think it's fair for me to give this cake a rating because everyone else here seems to have love it, and I didn't. The cake baked up nicely, but it's way too sweet - and I have a huge sweet-tooth, but this had too much sugar. I'm also disappointed at how the cake took on a walnut flavor and the pistachio flavor just disappeared. And, why were walnuts listed? Why wasn't chopped pistachios called for? I would not make this cake again; it won't make my recipe box, as there are other recipes more worthy to try out.

This recipe is a homerun! I made it for work and everyone raved about how moist it was. The icing was spot on! I would definitely make this recipe again.

I remember this recipe as a child and just discovered it again. I don't use the walnuts either as the nut flavoring from the pudding is enough. I also make it as a layered cake for a change

This cake is so moist and delicious! And the frosting is just great! The one change I made in the recipe is I eliminated the walnuts (my family doesn't like them) and used chopped pistachios instead.

This is a huge hit every time I make it even with those who don't like pistachio's or people like my husband who don't like frosting they love this.
