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.

      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.
