7UP Bundt Cake Recipe

It’s been a while, but we are hoping to slide back into a blogging routine, and a recipe seemed like the perfect place to start. This is a super easy bundt cake that we’ve been making for years. It’s dense, but not too heavy, and great with berries too.

The Cake:

• 3 sticks room temp salted butter

• 3 cups white sugar

• 5 room temp eggs

• 2 tbs fresh lemon juice

• 2 tbs fresh lime juice

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup 7UP Soda

• 3 cups all-purpose flour

The Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 tbs almond extract (yes, almond!)

• 2 tbs of melted salted butter

• 1-3 tbs of heavy cream

Preheat oven to 325°. Liberally (and I mean liberally) grease and flour a bundt pan. If you think you've greased it well, grease it again.

Cream together the butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs in one at a time, beating well after each one. Mix in the fresh lemon and lime juice and vanilla extract. Then, alternating with 7-Up and flour, add each gradually and beat until a thick and smooth batter comes together.

Pour the batter into the prepared (very well greased and floured!) bundt pan and bake for approximately 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Leave it in the pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting to a cake plate to cool completely.

To make the glaze, first, whisk together the powdered sugar, almond extract, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Then, add in heavy cream 1 tbs at a time until you get the desired smooth consistency. Pour on top of the cake. Then, slice, eat, and enjoy!
