Watergate Cake
"This vintage Watergate Cake is a pistachio, pecan, and coconut dessert that's topped with a creamy whipped frosting. The beautiful green cake is a classic, old-fashioned treat that has been a favorite for generations! My grandmother made Watergate Cake back in the 70's, and I'm so excited to share it with all of you today! The delicious dessert is a perfect recipe for just about any gathering, and for so many different holidays. Your family and friends will love this cake on: • St. Patrick's Day -- it's green! • Christmas -- just add maraschino cherries for a green and red holiday theme and finish with plenty of snow-like coconut! • Easter -- the pastel green color and the white, fluffy coconut just screams Spring! • Summer potlucks -- the cake is so light and refreshing! • Sunday suppers with your family -- a time to enjoy classic, old-fashioned dishes that bring everyone together around the table!
