  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with floured cooking spray.
  • Place cake mix in a large mixing bowl. Add water, vegetable oil, eggs, and food coloring; whisk until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 23 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool, about 30 minutes.
  • When the cake is almost finished cooling, whisk together cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl for 2 minutes. Let sit until soft and thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Poke holes all over the top of the cooled cake using the handle of a clean wooden spoon. Pour pudding over the cake, spreading evenly to the edges. Spread whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle pistachios over top.
