7UP CAKE
I love a clandestine soda in the preparation of food, a flash of carbonation where the French might use wine, or brandy. It may be transgressive to say so, but I'm hardly alone, for all those who cringe at the thought. Page through church or community cookbooks and you'll find examples: Coke-spiked Jell-O situations, root beer-glazed fillets of salmon, beans simmered in Moxie. This recipe for a lemon-and-lime soda cake came to me a while back from a Times reader who thought I'd appreciate it (I did!). She said she'd gotten it from a grandmother down south, who stored it on an index card placed in her copy of the cookbook published by the Symphony League of Jackson, Miss., in 1971. The original called for oleo and Crisco oil. I swapped these out for dairy and neutral oil, and a little less soda, and an additional 15 minutes in the oven. This leaves the cake toast-brown and glistening, glossy-crumbed and high-risen, a marvelous moist yellow within. I'm no shill for Big Soda. You could just as easily make it with plain sparkling water and a spritz of lemon or lime. You could make it with sparkling wine!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, oil and sugar at medium speed. Add eggs one at a time, blending until incorporated, then blend in the lemon, vanilla and almond extracts. Add half the 7Up, blending until combined, then half the flour; repeat with the remaining 7Up, then the remaining flour until evenly blended.
- Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with butter; add cake batter. Bake until golden on top and firm to the touch, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert onto serving platter, and let cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to ensure even incorporation and a smooth batter.
- Use a whisk to blend the dry ingredients thoroughly before adding them to the wet ingredients. This helps prevent lumps.
- Mix the batter until just combined; overmixing can result in a dense, tough cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven for the specified time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- For a moist and flavorful cake, brush the top with a simple syrup made from equal parts sugar and water.
- Serve the cake plain or with your favorite frosting, glaze, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
The 7UP cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist, fluffy texture and refreshing lemon-lime flavor, this cake is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a special celebration or just enjoying it as a sweet treat, the 7UP cake is sure to be a hit.
