Watergate Cupcakes
Report
You’re going to LOVE these Watergate Cupcakes! Extremely nutty and moist thanks to pistachio pudding and pecans. Topped with a sweet, light whipped frosting, which is perfect for summer!

Ingredients
FOR THE CUPCAKES:
- 1 box white cake mix 18.25 ounce
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix 3 ounce
- 1 cup lemon lime soda
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup pecans chopped
FOR THE FROSTING:
- 12 ounce frozen whipped topping thawed
- 1 package instant pistachio pudding mix 3 ounce
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 2 Tablespoons shredded sweetened coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl at medium speed, combine cake mix, oil, pudding mix, soda, and eggs. Beat for several minutes until light and fluffy. Fold in chopped pecans.
- Using a large metal scoop (about 1/4 cup) fill muffin liners about 2/3 full. Bake in oven for 20 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Remove and cool completely before adding frosting.
- For the frosting, combined pudding mix with 1 cup milk. Whisk until blended. Fold in thawed whipped topping. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or more (you can do this while cupcakes are baking and cooling).
- Use a large spoon (or a 2 TBSP metal cookie scoop) to dollop the frosting onto each cooled cupcake. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and coconut. Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. ENJOY!
Notes
- We use a metal cookie scoop to dollop the frosting onto each cupcake. It creates a perfect pretty mound of frosting.
- Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 3 days.
- For more pistachio flavor, garnish the cupcakes with chopped pistachios too!
