Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco is good)
3 1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups 7-up, soda divided
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 large eggs

Steps:

  • Set oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour a 10" tube pan.
  • In a large bowl combine butter, shortening, 3 cups sugar (use only 3 cups sugar) vanilla and almond extract; beat using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  • Sift the flour and salt together.
  • Add eggs, 7-up, and the flour mixture to the butter mixture, using the following directions:.
  • This method must be followed; add 1 egg in at a time; then add a bit of Seven-Up, then a bit of the flour mixture, then a bit more of Seven-Up; repeat until all the eggs, flour mixture and 1 cup Seven-Up is used up (you will use the remaining 1/4 cup for glaze).
  • Spoon mixture into prepared baking pan.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 40 minutes, or until cake tests done.
  • Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from pan.
  • Mix the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the 1/4 cup Seven-Up soda.
  • Spread the glaze mix over cake.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh and high-quality ingredients yield the best results, especially for a classic dish like pound cake. Use real butter, not margarine, and fresh eggs at room temperature for a richer flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix the ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overbeat.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, giving the cake a lighter texture. Make sure the mixture is pale yellow and creamy before adding the eggs.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: Adding the eggs one at a time helps prevent the batter from curdling. Beat well after each addition to ensure the eggs are fully incorporated.
  • Use a light touch when folding in the dry ingredients: Overmixing at this stage can also lead to a tough cake. Use a spatula and gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Do not open the oven during baking: Opening the oven door during baking can cause the cake to fall. Resist the temptation to peek until the cake is almost done.
  • Test for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or serving: This allows the cake to set and prevents it from becoming crumbly when cut.

Conclusion:

7UP Pound Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make classic cake. With a few simple tips, you can create a moist, tender, and flavorful pound cake that is perfect for any occasion. Remember to use quality ingredients, mix the batter carefully, and bake the cake until it is just done. With a little practice, you will be able to make a 7UP Pound Cake that is sure to impress your family and friends.
