7UP Pound Cake


I've seen this recipe on the web for years.  I finally decided that I had to make it when the Pioneer Woman posted it on her blog.  She raved about it, and I already know that everything she makes is amazingly yummy.  This cake was no exception - it was fantastic!  We both loved it.  It is even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!  The perfect dessert for a nice spring or summer day.



7UP Pound Cake

(Printable Recipe)

3 sticks Butter
3 cups Sugar
5 whole Eggs
1 teaspoon Butter Flavoring
2 teaspoons Lemon Flavoring (I used 1/2 tsp lemon oil)
3 cups All-purpose Flour
1 cup 7-UP

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cream butter. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition. Add butter and lemon extracts and mix well. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add soft drink, then mix together until combined. Scrape sides of bowl, then mix briefly.

Pour into a greased Bundt pan and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until the cake is no longer jiggly. Remove cake from oven and invert pan until cake drops out.

Steph, this cake is a work of art. This is my first visit to your blog. I had intended only to say hello but was lured by your prior posts and stayed much longer than I planned. I really like your blog and will be back often. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

Did you let it cool in the pan for any amount of time? I tried to make this right after she posted it, when I inverted it I heard a big "CLUNK" and half of the cake fell out and the rest was on the bottom. :( I made sure my bundt pan was very well greased. It looked like a cake exploded on the cake pan. I was so upset. My husband just laughed and said the part that fell out tasted pretty darn good. I've been afraid to try and make it again. Any tips?

The crust on that looks wonderful. Perfect actually. Now I have to go buy some 7-up and make this for myself.

I want to make this soon, but I noticed that there is no leavening mentioned in the recipe.,ie. baking powder, soda, or salt. Is that correct as printed? Thanks.
