My
Abuelo’s absolute favorite birthday
treat is 7-Up cake. Mommy made it especially for him when her side of the
family came up to visit in
September. I will warn you that this cake is far from healthy. It is a
definite TREAT and meant to be eaten in small portions. But it’s very filling
and delicious!
7-Up Cake
3 sticks of butter (1 ½ cups)
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups cake flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cups 7-Up
2 Tablespoons lemon extract
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time
and beat well. Sift together flour and salt and add into mixture alternately
with 7-Up. Add lemon extract just before pouring batter into a greased and
floured tube pan (we used a bundt pan). Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15
minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Optional: Sift powdered
sugar on top for garnish.
