7-Up Bundt Cake Recipe
If you enjoy citrus, you will enjoy this 7-Up Bundt cake. Lemon is without a doubt my favorite citrus flavor when it comes to desserts. This Bundt cake gets most of its flavor from a whopping 2 tablespoons of lemon extract and 7-Up. If you don’t want to use 7-Up any carbonated lemon-lime beverage will work as well. I knew before I had even begun making it that I would love this cake, and I was right, it was delicious. The cake turned out to be extremely moist with excellent citrus flavor. You will definitely want to take small pieces because this cake is not a light dessert by any means. This cake also had a fantastic lemon glaze that goes over it. This does not take very long to make, you can have it in the oven within 10 minutes. Enjoy.
Ingredients:
¾ lb butter
3 cups white sugar
5 eggs
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons lemon extract
¾ cup 7 Up (or any carbonated lemon-lime beverage)
Glaze-
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl cream butter and sugar for 20 minutes. Add eggs one at a time beating after each one. Add flour and lemon extract. Fold in 7 up. Pour into a greased 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
Step 2: Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Step 3: To make glaze- in a bowl mix powered sugar and lemon juice. When the cake has cooled drizzle the glaze over it.
Wow, I never in my life would have thought of using 7-up as an ingredient for a dish or desserts only for alcoholic drink.
man I love this cake…grew up on it. When I make it for others they can’t believe that there is soda in it and how delicious it is…
I’ve never baked with 7-up. The cake looks delicious. I am surprised with the amount of sugar though. Was it really sweet?
We are crazy about anything lemony! And this cake is a must try, Thanks! Best from Santa Barbara, s
now that sounds good! I must try this.
This is an old-school Southern cake we’re very familiar with. In fact, we’ve eaten it (and made it) too many times. A classic.
My Grandma use to make this cake and her recipe is very similar to this one. I can’t wait to compare!
Almost forgot about this cake, enjoyed it many times while growing up.
Do you shift the flour and then measure 3 cups?
I have never tried using soda in a cake. It sounds like fun and the cake looks great!

The name of this cake brought me to this post. Using 7-up as an ingredient seems quite interesting. Nice different recipe and an easy one too.
