Watergate Cake

To make this cake, I had to talk my sweet niece, Rhonda, out of the recipe.  I guess it has been a secret for a long time.  And then I had to get her approval to put it on my blog.  Thank you, Rhonda.  And thank you to her daughter, Holly for helping me.  This is a delicious cake to make for St. Patrick’s Day.  Or any other day for that matter, but it is such a beautiful green, it just seems right for St. Patrick’s Day or Christmas.

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • 1 large pkg. instant pistachio pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup 7-Up or Sprite

In a mixer, combine all ingredients; mix well.  Pour into a greased and floured bundt cake pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.  Cool completely and then frost.

Frosting

  • 1 large pkg. pistachio pudding mix
  • 1 pkg. Dream Whip (I used a small Cool Whip)
  • 1 cup milk

Beat everything together and frost cake.  Refrigerate.
