# Step-by-Step Directions:

In a separate bowl, mix yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, pistachio pudding mix, and sour cream until fully incorporated and uniform in color.

Grease a baking pan and pour the red velvet batter first, then carefully layer the green batter over it. Bake following the cake mix package instructions and until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, frost the top with white icing followed by green icing to create a festive pattern. Finish by sprinkling red heart-shaped decorations on top.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, incorporate chopped pistachios into the green batter. Use low-fat sour cream for a lighter texture. Store the cake in an airtight container for freshness. Cool the cake fully before frosting to prevent melting. Gel food coloring can be added for more vibrant green hues.
02 -
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and warmed briefly in a microwave. The cake freezes well for one month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
