Watergate Cake

I found this recipe in a newspaper back in 1974. I don't know why they call it Watergate Cake, but my theory is that it disappeared in 18 minutes. For those of you who weren't around in the '70's, I'm sure you will have no clue what I just said...just laugh anyways and try the cake!

Preheat oven to 350*
Ingredients for the cake:
  • 1 box of white cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 box pistachio pudding (add pudding dry)
  • 1 c. oil
  • 1 c. chopped walnuts
  • 1 c. ginger ale ( I prefer Vernor's brand ginger ale, but it has come to my attention that it is not sold everywhere. Sorry. If you are one of these unfortunate souls, use which ever brand you prefer)
Mix all ingredients together in order given.
Bake at 350* in a greased bundt pan for 30-40 minutes.

Ingredients for the frosting:
  • 1 box of pistachio pudding (add pudding dry)
  • 1 carton of cool whip
Mix together. Add to cool cake.
Eat.
