7UP Cake
I’ve been in the mood for nostalgic and vintage recipes lately. I even have a Pinterest board filled with vintage recipes I want to make!
I also have several of my favorite vintage recipes right here on the blog such as porcupine meatballs, old fashioned goulash, and more.
Vintage recipes can mean different things to different people. For me, it means recipes I grew up with, or that my grandmother used to make.
I think this 7UP cake is the perfect example of a delicious vintage recipe!
There are several different versions of this cake, some using a boxed yellow cake mix, and some with lemon juice, but I like this version the best. It’s actually really simple to make and the flavor is out of this world!
The 7UP in this cake helps to keep it moist, and the lemon extract gives it a great flavor. This cake is perfect for the holidays or to take to potlucks. Actually, it’s so easy to make, it’s perfect any time of the year!
Tip: It’s best to make this in a bundt cake pan that is very well greased and floured to keep from sticking.
*This cake is also great just as it is without the icing, but the icing is simple to make and gives it a nice flavor.
