7UP Pound Cake Tips
What does 7UP do for a cake?
7UP is used in place of traditional leaveners such as baking soda or baking powder. The carbonation helps the cake rise and gives it a lift. If you have any leftover 7UP, use it up in one of these other
recipes that use lemon-lime soda.
Can I substitute Sprite (or any other soda) for 7UP?
Because 7UP has a higher level of carbonation than Sprite, we suggest you always use 7UP in this
pound cake recipe. It will give you the best and most desired results.
How do you keep this cake moist?
The beauty of this 7UP cake is its moist and flavorful texture. To keep it extra moist, a simple syrup is key. You can
make simple syrup by boiling equal parts water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Then, brush the syrup onto the warm cake with a pastry brush after removing the cake from the pan. The warm cake will absorb the syrup, keeping it moist.

I have used this recipe several times. I even made some as Christmas gifts. This is really a beautiful cake.
I make this cake, as written, once a week for desert and treats. It’s perfect. This is a good old fashioned country cake. Not everyone is going to appreciate it, but those that know will love it.
wondering if the 3 CUPS of sugar might be a typo?? that's a LOT of sugar! Made the cake in a 2-piece fluted tube pan and the batter leaked out the bottom so my house smelled like burnt sugar for the rest of the day. Cake did not come out of the pan nicely either. Tasted ok but still very heavy and dense. I have better pound cake recipes so I doubt I will bother with this one again.
Hello, I wanted to know if it's 1.5 sticks butters or 3 sticks butter.
My first attempt at trying this cake. I only used 2.5 cups of sugar, but followed the rest of the ingredients. The cake came out light, fluffy and delicious. I will not be buying another 7up cake.
I've made this cake with the grand kids till they know how to make it themselves with little supervision. We have tried every different soda that comes to mind. Dr. Pepper, and Orange Fanta rate high. When using another soda i eliminate the lemon and add a tad bit more of vanilla. Never a complaint and the cake last no more than a few days. Thanks. Oh before i forget. The original recipe is a classic. Thanks.
I made this cake my husband. Says it taste like his Grandmas very good
I'm familiar with this cake but this time I'm substituting Mountain Dew for the 7-Up for our young friend who's just off the ventilator from COVID - Mountain Dew is his favorite and I'm sure this will be his favorite cake!
This 7Up pound cake came out excellent I will definitely be using it again. The texture and quality was superb!!!
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! This is the most delicious cake! Made it exactly by the recipe and it was so smooth. Thank you - I'll definitely be making this cake again and again!
