Watergate Cake

I wrote a post the other day on Instagram about how the other evening I was putting Piper to bed and yawned when I was singing her goodnight song.

She looked at me and said, “Are you tired from yelling at us all day?”

Siiiiiiiiiiigh.

That kid you guys. Everyone always loves to tell me how cute she is. But she has more spunk in one little pinky finger than the rest of the family does combined. She is sweet as honey one minute and then giving us a run for our money the next.

I’m totally open to advice from anyone else raising a spunky monkey.

But in the meantime, let’s talk about this Watergate Cake recipe instead, kay?

Ingredients

1 box yellow cake mix (plus the ingredients the recipe calls for)

3.4 ounce box pistachio pudding mix (just the dry mix)

20 ounce can crushed pineapple undrained

8 ounces cool whip

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Combine the dry cake mix with the pistachio pudding mix (just the dry pudding mix). Then add the rest ingredients the cake mix calls for and bake according to package instructions.

Remove the cake from the oven, poke holes in the top of the hot cake, and pour the crushed pineapple over it, making sure to get pineapple in each hole.

Allow to cool completely.

Top with cool whip and walnuts, serve, and enjoy!
