If you love 7up as much as my husband does, you are going to fall in love with this cake. Even better, kids absolutely love it because it has SODA. What cool mom makes a cake with soda?! They’re going to love you for this one because no one else has such an awesome mom/grandma like you!
Check out what my friends over at The Domestic Rebel had to say about this recipe:
“Forreals, you guys – this cake is AMAZING. The flavor is so out of control awesome and the cake itself is dense, tender and moist. It’s buttery, sweet, and citrusy thanks to the zip from lemons and limes. But really, it’s the texture that’s just so amazing. The 7-Up soda almost caramelizes the crust of the cake, lending a crisp texture to the tender crumb inside… which is precisely why you must invert it pretty quickly after removing it from the oven or that puppy will stick.”
Ingredients
1 & ½ cups (3 sticks) Land O’ Lakes unsalted butter, softened
3 cups Domino white sugar
5 eggs
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp lime juice
2 tsp McCormick vanilla extract
1 cup 7-Up Soda
3 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
Zest of one lime
Zest of one lemon
GLAZE:
2 cups Domino powdered sugar
1 Tbsp lime juice
2 Tbsp 7-Up Soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Liberally (and I mean it!) grease and flour a bundt pan. If you think you’ve greased it well, grease it again. Seriously. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the Land O’ Lakes butter and Domino sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs in, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon and lime juice, lemon and lime zests, and McCormick vanilla extract to combine. Then, alternating with 7-Up and Gold Medal flour, add each gradually until a thick and smooth batter comes together.
Pour the batter into the prepared (and very well greased and floured!) bundt pan and bake for approx. 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Leave in pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle on top of the cake and allow glaze to set before cutting into slices.
