I made the frosting with 8oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup butter and 2 cups powdered sugar. After I creamed those together, I added 1 pack of pistachio pudding to 1/2 cup whole milk and stirred it up VERY well until the mix was completely dissolved (otherwise it could get gritty)... Then I added it to the cream cheese mix. In a separate bowl I whipped one cup of heavy whipping cream with a tiny bit of almond extract then folded it into the cream cheese mix.... Holy cow was it delicious!! And it held up great in the fridge! Thanks for the cake recipe, it was awesome!
Been making this cake for years, only difference being that I mix the pudding with Cool Whip for the icing. Definitely going to have to try making it like this!
Try white cake mix that's how I made it. Scrumptious. The green so beautiful. Also white sponge cake. I took a cake bake class and we all used white let me know. By the way I live in Mexico
Thanks. Mother has been making this for years and it's been excellent. Now I wanted to do something different. It was a big hit. Especially the frosting recipe with the confectioner sugar. 🤭🤭secret-I add a teaspoon of almond extract and sub ginger ale instead of club soda.
Cannot wait to make this baby! Really enjoyed your presentation: very thorough and clear. Did I mention good vibes and great humor? Wish I had such great neighbors to do all these neighborly things with. Thank you guys. 🥰💚
I was looking for a pistachio cake recipe and this one looks amazing! You and your neighbor are so funny. Thank you so much for sharing. Happy New Year!!
I have been searching for a good recipe for pistachio cake for St. Patrick's Day and none appealed to me until this one. I just finished making it with 2 changes: for the filling I used 1.5 cups cold milk instead of 2 as on package directions because I prefer a firmer filling. And I added 1/2 cup roasted/unsalted pistachios to the cake batter AND 1/2 cup pistachios in the filling. I decorated the frosted cake top with a design of whole pistachios. UPDATE: The cake was very moist and tasty. I only wish the pistachio flavor was stronger.
I made it in a bunt pan & used only one ☝️ box of pudding mix. Six boxes is too expensive for my blood 😆 that’s about a $20 cake when it’s done. I dusted it with powdered sugar. Turned out good ! 😋🤙
Pistachio cake is a thing in my culture too but damn it's so good. This recipe is very similar! We call it ''Bolo di pistacho'' but it's a bit expensive to make because pistachios are pricey. Wish there was instant pistachio filling or pudding where I live, that would save a lot of time.
Ok I make the midori cake.i deCided to give this a go I made it like the midori cake but I added Club soda and walnuts. It seems a bit soupy I hope I didnt ruin it by adding the soda I use 1 cup yogurt instead of of half cup of oil and half cup pln.yogurt.i use 4 eggs midori pudding mix.the midori bundt I use confect.sugar and melon liquor for the I iceing its mixed over grest6 and as it cools u poor on top and add remaining to the bundt hole in the center and it absorbs it in a day or 2.maki g it very moist and amazingly good
all the other watergate (pistachio) cakes used sprite or seven-up ? wonder what it would be like if you used marshmallow fluff instead of whipped cream or in addition to
Your commentary is very funny and entertaining. I will definitely be adding your cake recipe to our thanksgiving table next week! Thank you for sharing with us😊 Happy Holidays from my family to yours ❤️
I have never laughed so much while drooling over a recipe. Your neighbor's giggle is hysterical and contagious. The two of you together are a barrel of fun. Thanks for the great time. Still cracking up!!!
James Mavity thanks so much, I will try giving one of the box mixes a go here in that case, we don’t get those Jello puddings here either to be honest only on Amazon at a very high price, great to hear that you lived here, what brought you over? Or sent you back? I’m in Reading UK
The towel trick is great. I have done that and I also bought strips that do this when I saw them on sale😀 my cakes always take longer to cook when I use either method. Making this cake right now. Can't wait to taste it
Oh now this was fun to watch!!! I spent a few hours watching Jim and Sandy make this wonderful cake, and got to laugh some as well. Worth it, Make it! Scrumptious!
I have watched hundrets of cake videos but I do have to say that while people in Amerika make good cake they lack asthetics. They don't take care to make them beautiful. Most are just slapped together with sloppy runny frosting. Make this with proper buttercream frosting. (Your pudding mix and real butter ) and you will get a frosting you can work with. Then take the piping bag with a star nozzle and decorate in 12 sections ( slices).you will get a cake where the eye wants to eat too.
It’s so moist and supper delicious, I never in my life tried putting club soda on my cakes thank you for the video and a thank you for her for sharing her recipe!
Can I use Sparkling Water? Also it's flavored sparkling water... Strawberry Rhubarb sparkling water... I think it would make a terrific addition to the cake if you can taste the flavor of the sparkling water.. I'm not the expert that's why I'm asking...

Thanks. Mother has been making this for years and it's been excellent. Now I wanted to do something different. It was a big hit. Especially the frosting recipe with the confectioner sugar.

This sounds great I would like to know instead of Walnut can pistachios be used
Wouldn’t hurt to try it with pistachios. Use the unsalted ones
Oops, hit the wrong button.
It was called Watergate cake with a cover up icing. It was delicious and a big hit with everyone
Oh yeah! 🤤 Best pistachio cake in wide universe! 🙌🏼
Add homemade cream cheese frosting for inside. Pistachio frosting outside. 😋
Trying this tomorrow thank you will let you know how it goes!! Come back for update 😂🙏🏼
It’s soo good! One thing I love about this cake is it’s cold AND still really moist. 5 stars!
Wow I didn’t even know this existed until now I will definitely have to try this
My mom use to make a PISTACHIO NUT SWIRL BUNDT CAKE. YUMMMM
all the other watergate (pistachio) cakes used sprite or seven-up ? wonder what it would be like if you used marshmallow fluff instead of whipped cream or in addition to
I whipped it like it owed me
money. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for tearing the bag open and pouring the contents in separately from the packaging eventually XD
This is hilarious! But so excited to try this for family parties!
Your commentary is very funny and entertaining. I will definitely be adding your cake recipe to our thanksgiving table next week! Thank you for sharing with us😊 Happy Holidays from my family to yours ❤️
that is awesome and thanks for the compliment, I know this cake will not dissapoint
Have you made the cake yet?
I have never laughed so much while drooling over a recipe. Your neighbor's giggle is hysterical and contagious. The two of you together are a barrel of fun. Thanks for the great time. Still cracking up!!!
Couldn’t you put pistachio nuts instead of walnuts? Or would it make it over powering in pistachio flavoring’s?
Yummy going to try this 💚..thanks!!
I hope you do. Let me know how you like it.
My youngest aunt always makes this for Thanksgiving I don't know how to make it but ima save this and make it like yall soon very soon
can you make this ahead of time for a party say 3-4days?
Yes , and I just made cupcakes with this recipe
I would make 2 separate cakes in that 9x13 and eliminate the steps of cutting and risking the cake might break on the process.
I live in England, we don’t get yellow cake pudding mixes here, what can I use?
Chandni Simi Dave you can use white puddding mix , just as good. Thanks for watching. Where in England? I lived in Brandon and Bury StEdmunds
James Mavity thanks so much, I will try giving one of the box mixes a go here in that case, we don’t get those Jello puddings here either to be honest only on Amazon at a very high price, great to hear that you lived here, what brought you over? Or sent you back? I’m in Reading UK
@@CharlieSDee The Air Force,
You seen like a real masterbaker
hahahahhaha
I had no idea about the towel trick! Mind blown! And this cake is so delicious. Have a cup of milk on hand; it is rich!
Im definitely gonna do this i love pistachio
Wow 😳❤
Good
Inlay 200.for this green cake.my favorite.
Will this recipe be to much for a bundt cake pan? Thanks in advance
I am not sure. Give it a try
The towel trick is great. I have done that and I also bought strips that do this when I saw them on sale😀 my cakes always take longer to cook when I use either method. Making this cake right now. Can't wait to taste it
please tell me what you think. I love it
Why are walnuts used instead of pistachios?
maraschino cherries on top in Maryland it's. Known as Watergate cake
Oh now this was fun to watch!!! I spent a few hours watching Jim and Sandy make this wonderful cake, and got to laugh some as well. Worth it, Make it! Scrumptious!
I would think so, I bet that would be good
Looks good. But I wonder why you used walnuts instead of pistachios?
THE BEST❤
oh wow...yum
Ty!
Great video! Love the recipe!
Do I have to keep the cake refrigerated all the time? This is because of the milk in pudding?
Yes, it is such a
Moist cake that it helps keep it solid. Plus the butter cream
How long you gonna cook it
Need recipe with cake flour
Awesome. I will just use two cakepans. I can't be bothered with cutting. Lol

Thank you for your input and somewhat racist comment.
@@jimmavity That has nothing to do with race. Americans are not a race of people.
It's merely, an observation of aesthetics.
You're not wrong
Looks delicious.
I call it the best on planet earth for a reason. I truly hope you make it . Thanks for watching
wow...This looks amazing
here is a link to a professional grade True 9 X `3 without the rounded edges, pretty inexpensive as well amzn.to/2HmDOg4
This is perfection!!! Yum!!!
Can the club soda be substituted?
I honestly do not know
Oh and used one package delivered dream whip and fruit cocktail
Amazing
When I first heard ofvtheu pistachio cake, It was called Watergate cake with
I didn't see the sticks take out?
we take them out as we reach them to prevent sliding
I wish I was friends w my neighbors so we can share recipes
Can I use a hand mixer? Does that make a difference?
It shouldn’t make a difference.
Im not sure what she is laughing at-- you are doing great.
This cake actually has been around for years but it was called Watergate cake.
Where are the directions?
All Good Vibes, Man
Just wondering if i can use water instead of club soda?
Probably I have never tried it. Thanks so much for watching
Yummmm!! Thank you I am now a new subscriber and I can't wait to make this for my family!! Thank you and Master Sandy 🌹😇😍😁💯🎉
I am confident you will love it
I have never seen pistachio pudding in my life. I live in California. I'm going look for it now, but I had no clue it even existed.
you will love it. Let me know if you make.
walmart sells it in the bay area.
IM MAKING THIS RIGHT NOW I FOLLOWED EVERY STEP except, I didn’t buy heavy cream I forgot :(
You will love it
It’s so moist and supper delicious, I never in my life tried putting club soda on my cakes thank you for the video and a thank you for her for sharing her recipe!
@@noemicontreras8809 I knew you would love it. Best Cake Ever. Make it your secret signature desert to make for special occasions
Delish!
Shoot all it took was one look at Sandy and "master baker" neighbor and I'm already knowing this will be 😍
Making this todayyy😆
Can I use Sparkling Water? Also it's flavored sparkling water... Strawberry Rhubarb sparkling water... I think it would make a terrific addition to the cake if you can taste the flavor of the sparkling water.. I'm not the expert that's why I'm asking...
Why do I have to make things complicated I forgot I can just buy club soda...
yes
Let us know what flavor you added?
This cake is from the 70’s it’s actually called a watergate cake. I think instead of club soda the original recipe calls for 7 up.
Thanks for the info
Can you use almond flour instead of regular flour? If so what's the difference in consistency from one flour to the other?
At least you had fun making it. Why walnuts and not pistachios inside?
I was just copying the Master Baker's Recipe as is. It is so good as is I never questioned it.
there are actually quite a few of chopped pistachios in the pudding the mix.
Can I use all purpose flour instead of cake mix. Please let me know the measurements for it. Thanks!
Honestly I do not know.
You could try a basic from scratch white or yellow cake mix and then continue with the recipe
Why would she not use pistachio nuts????
I’m definitely subscribed now ✅
I played the video 3 times hoping that I just missed it. But no I didn't. You folks NEVER CUT THE CAKE.
WHY?
Huh? good question. I have no idea why. I honestly thought I did. Sorry about that.
@958 the cake gets cut
Hi I HAVE SEEN ABOUT 50. OF THIS CAKE I DONOT MAKE MY. CAKE THS.
Looks so delicious can't wait to try to make it thanks for sharing have a blessed day today in Jesus Christ our Lord GOD and savor JESUS CHRIST bye
I think you made a mistake when you first said wax paper, but then you corrected yourself and said parchment paper other than that it was great
My luck, the towels will catch fire in the oven. I don’t think I’ll try that trick. Looks good but way too sweet for me.
Really the best part of this cake is that it is not too sweet at all.
😍
Come with some rum cake 😁
challenge accepted
Will do, thanks for the idea
The rum cake will post on 10/30/2019
💚💚💚💚💚
Why would you put walnuts in a Pistachio Cake???? Goss !!!!!
Thanks for the comment, I take it you are not a fan of walnuts. They really do work in this recipe I was surprised as well.
@@jimmavity You are soooo right I do not like walnuts. But I do love your recipe!!!! I do everything but the walnuts. Thank you so much
Master baker.....lost me at the boxed cake mix...futher lost me at the total lack of actual pistachios
Sorry fruit cocktail
As soon as I saw it, I turned it off. Why in God's creation would put walnuts in a pistachio cake.
Trust me it works
Booya! 🤣🥰🫶🏻 I’m making it tomorrow thanks a million 🙏🏻
