7UP® Bundt Cake Recipe
Back in the day, every brand had a recipe. The idea was to get you to purchase more of their products by providing tried-and-true, taste kitchen-tested recipes to the public. If you would like more recipes with 7UP® there website has them here. This 7UP® Bundt cake was one of those recipes.
Notes:
• While this is a 7UP® bundt cake recipe, the truth is any clear lemon-lime soda pop can be used.
• This is basically a pound cake, not a layer cake. It is denser than a traditional layer cake.
• If the amount of lemon extract is too much for you, you can cut the lemon extract down and substitute vanilla extra in its place. Do not go below ½ lemon extract ½ vanilla extract in proportions or your Bundt cake will not be very lemony.
• Many people use a light lemon-lime glaze on top (simply confectionary sugar + lemon-lime pop (or lemon juice) instead of water or milk, and a dash of lemon extract) instead of a dusting of powder sugar. It is simply a personal preference. You can also add some lemon and/or lime peel shavings on top for garnish.
• You could also add some lemon and/or lime peel shavings to the batter if you like (do this by hand).
• And speaking of by hand… many people swear by combining the flour but adding the 7UP® by hand and folding it in (instead of alternating as my directions below)
• Make sure you heavily grease (with Crisco) and flour your bundt pan or it will stick to the pan when you remove it.

• 3 cups White Sugar

• Add lemon extract. Combine.
• Alternate adding flour one cup at a time and 1/3 of a cup of lemon-lime soda pop.
• Beat until just combined, do not overbeat the mixture will become too dense.
