Watergate Cake

This is an old timey recipe from the 1970's.  Can't you tell by the name?  Still, it's tasty!  My mom used to make this for parties.

Ingredients

• 1 box white cake
• 2 boxes pistachio pudding
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup Sprite
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup pecans
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut
• 8 oz. Cool Whip
• a touch of milk

1. In a large bowl, add pudding and cake mix - then add oil, Sprite, & eggs.  It will sizzle, but that's okay.  Pour the mixture into a 9 x 13" baking dish.
2. Add coconut and pecans on top.
3. Bake for 30-45 minutes.  Monitor to make sure it's not under or overdone.  Remove from oven and let cool.

FROSTING
1. Mix Cool Whip and the other box of pudding.  Add a little milk to soften.
2. Spread on cooled cake and refrigerate.
