How to Make 7-Up Cake

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a bundt pan liberally with nonstick baking spray. Place aside.
• Mix the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with the paddle attachment on medium speed for approximately two minutes, or until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix for one minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as required, until all of the ingredients are mixed.
• Turn the mixer to low and add the flour and 7-Up, starting and finishing with the flour. Just blend everything.
• Coat a bundt pan liberally with nonstick baking spray. Pour the batter into the pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing it to a cake plate or wire rack to cool fully.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake.

Tips and Tricks

• Because of the high sugar content, this cake may cling to the pan. To assist avoid this, prepare the pan with butter, shortening, and flour, or with baking spray (rather than standard nonstick spray).
• For the finest taste and texture, use genuine butter instead of margarine.
• Remove chilled items such as eggs and butter from the refrigerator approximately 30 minutes before beginning the cake. Allowing the ingredients to come to room temperature makes combining them simpler and results in a lighter cake.
• Allow your cake to cool before storing it in an airtight container at room temperature rather than in the fridge. With time, the taste and texture improve.
