Got it! Here’s a classic, moist 7-UP Cake recipe—super simple and delicious. This is the kind of cake that practically makes itself thanks to the soda.
Ingredients
Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup 7-UP (or any lemon-lime soda)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
Glaze (optional):
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3–4 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prep oven and pan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×13-inch pan.
- Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Cream butter & eggs
- In another bowl, beat softened butter with eggs and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine ingredients
- Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk and 7-UP. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in lemon zest if using.
- Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool slightly.
- Make glaze (optional)
- Melt butter, stir in milk and vanilla.
- Gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Pour over warm cake so it seeps in.
- Serve & enjoy
- Slice and enjoy! The cake is light, fluffy, and moist thanks to the soda.
💡 Tips:
- For extra flavor, try adding a bit of orange zest instead of lemon.
- Glazing while the cake is warm makes it extra gooey and flavorful.
- This cake keeps well for 2–3 days if covered tightly.
If you want, I can give a “one-bowl, no-fuss 7-UP Cake” version that’s even easier for quick baking.
Do you want me to share that version too?
