    My Momma made this cake in the 70's. For family dinners and for potlucks. She made it as a sheetcake and would put coconut and chopped up pecans in the cake and then coconut in the dreams whip frosting. I have my mommy's recipe box and I have this recipe she wrote out. I had forgotten about it. I'm gonna make it for Christmas now. Thank you for the memory.

    Hey Tammy!
    This was my favorite cake growing up. My Granny made it for every get together, baby shower, baptism, etc.. She always used ground pecans n crushed pineapple in the cake, but also added drained crushed pineapple to the dream whip and pistachio icing, with coconut on the outside and maraschino cherries. And boy, She made it tall! Very tall. No less than 4-6 layers. She would put it in the fridge the day before she served it so it would set up and cut nicely (I think, because it was such a big cake) that would be my guess anyhow..It was a real treat! Thank you for your recipe. I thought it had become a long lost recipe because I don't see many folks making it these days.
    Forever my favorite cake! 💚

    I made up my own version of watergate salad. I call it tropical fluff. Every one loves it. Put one can crushed pineapple in a bowl. Add one smaller box of instant lemon pudding( just dry out of the box) and mix well. Add one med can of mandarin oranges, drained. Mix. Add one normal sized container of koolwhip and mix. Chill. All done!😊. I dont care for coconut, but people say itd be great with coconut in it. Some might like nuts. But i make the 4 ingredient mix and NEVER have any to bring home. Its quick, simple, pretty, tasty, and light.

    I grew up eating Watergate Salad. It was one of my favorites! 😋 I've never even heard of Watergate Cake, but I'm sure it's tasty! I would probably add pineapples 🍍 to the batter. It looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

    My mom used to make watergate cake for both my sister and my birthdays, and she would make the Watergate salad. Yummy! My mother would add the pineapple for my cake, my sister had it plain like the one you made.
    Another birthday cake I would like is the hummingbird cake, which my grandmother would make.
    Thank you for bring back wonderful memories!

    Hey, Tammy 🎄❤️🎄💚🎄. I remember this cake, but hadn’t thought about it in years! It’s really yummy and so pretty. My mom didn’t make it, I did😊 I might make one for my volunteer fire department Christmas dinner ❤. I always add my liquid ingredients first, too😂. Dream Whip was before Cool Whip 😂. It’s beautiful! Thank you, Chad, for sharing your recipe with Tammy ❤

    About 10 years ago I thought I would make a Watergate Cake because I love Watergate salad it's one of my very favorites to this day. So I got a white cake mix I put pistachio pudding in it I use milk instead of water I put a packet of pistachio pudding in it I put one of those small cans of crushed pineapple in it I put chopped pecans in it and I put coconut in it and of course the oil and the eggs and I made that in a sheet pan and I'm by 13. And when it was done and cool I made the icing I used Cool whip crushed pineapple pistachio pudding chopped pecans coconut and miniature marshmallows. I made it for Easter and I made one for my good friend Pam for Easter as well it was absolutely delicious. But I didn't know that there was already a cake recipe for it out there I just thought it was something that I meant. Anyways thanks for sharing this recipe because there's lots of people that will love it.

    I can watch and hear the mixer beat the cake mix and the sound it makes when it hits the bottom of the bowl all day. Watching you prepare this cake brought me back to my childhood and remembering watching my mom bake and cook. Yes, always lick the spoon and whatever stays in the bowl. Thanks for the video.

    My mom made watergate congealed salad a LOT while I was growing up. She had a Tupperware salad mold that she would use, and whenever that mold showed up on the counter, we knew what was coming!
    Your watergate cake looks very good. I’ve used Dream Whip a lot over the years--it makes a good whipped topping every time.
    Thanks for this video--I love watching you decorate cakes. They are always beautiful…..😊……..❤️Brenda
