08 August 1974 - PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON RESIGNS FROM OFFICE: Left
reeling from the Watergate scandal, and facing the looming prospect of impeachment, President Richard Nixon broadcasts his decision to resign.
A first in US presidential history, the resignation will become official
the next day, ending an infamous chapter in political corruption.
Nixon's resignation was the culmination of what he referred to in his
speech as the "long and difficult period of Watergate", a 1970s federal political scandal stemming from the break-in of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the Watergate Office Building by five
men during the 1972 presidential election and the Nixon administration's subsequent attempts to cover up its involvement in the crime. Nixon
ultimately lost much of his popular and political support as a result of Watergate. At the time of his resignation the next day, Nixon faced
almost certain impeachment and removal from office.

Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Nuts
Yield: 12 Servings
MMMMM----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
16 1/4 oz Box white cake mix; not
- Angel Food
3 1/4 oz Box pistachio pudding mix
3/4 c Oil; the lighter the oil,
- the better the cake
3 lg Eggs
1 c 7-Up or club soda
1/2 c Chopped nuts
MMMMM---------------------------ICING--------------------------------
85 g (2 env) Dream Whip boxed
- topping mix
1 1/2 c Cold milk
3 1/4 oz Box pistachio pudding mix
Set oven @ 325ºF/165ºC.
Put the eggs, oil and soda in a bowl, lay the cake and
pudding mix on top and combine using a mixer. Grandma
would grease and flour a 9" by 13" pan and that is
certainly the easiest prep, but you can also do cupcakes
with liners or any shape cake pans. For a 9" by 13" pan,
bake for 45 minutes; for 9" round pans, bake for 30
minutes; for full size cupcakes, I toothpick test at 25
minutes and mini-cupcakes I check at 20 minutes.
As long as a toothpick poked in the center of the
cupcake comes out clean, they're done. Completely cool
the cake on a wire rack and refrigerate it. This cake
also freezes well for later use - just don't add the
frosting until you're ready to serve.
Now to make the topping. Using a mixer, beat the milk
and both envelopes of whipped topping until stiff.
Gradually add in the pistachio pudding mix and continue
beating until well blended. Spread on the cool cake or
cupcakes and refrigerate until ready to serve.
