Pistachio Pudding Cake (watergate Cake)

"Pistachio pudding cake, also known as Watergate Cake is full of rich and nutty pistachio flavors and makes an easy moist but thicker cake. This classic cake is topped with a fluffy frosting and plenty of crunchy chopped pistachios, and makes a pretty green cake that’s easy enough for any beginning baker to make. Why We Love Pistachio Pudding Cake Rich Pistachio Flavor – Pistachio pudding allows us to have a richer pistachio flavor in this cake without tons of effort. Pistachios have a distinct flavor which is nutty, sweet and earthy, but the flavor of the nut tends to be more subtle. The pistachio instant pudding not only adds that flavor, it also makes a rich and moist cake just like it does in my pistachio pudding cookies. Pistachio lovers will love this easy pistachio cake recipe. Classic Vintage Recipe – This is a vintage recipe that my mother in law would make for a special occasion, and my husband has fond memories of enjoying around the family table. It’s similar in flavor to Watergate salad which is more of a delicious dessert than a salad, and appeared on tables across the US about the same time. Fun For The Whole Family – This cake is an easy cake with simple ingredients that doesn’t require a lot of decorating skills, and the whole family can enjoy together. Plus both the cake and the frosting have a lovely green hue color. "
