7 UP CAKE FROM SCRATCH WITH LEMON LIME GLAZE Recipes

Isn’t this cake so happy?! I just screams summer to me! My family loves citrus desserts, and this one is loaded with lemons, limes, and 7UP! If you’ve never baked a cake with 7UP before, now is the time! It is so moist and flavorful – you’re going to love it!

A long time ago 7UP pound cakes were popular, but a lot of the recipes use a cake mix. This particular cake isn’t a pound cake – it’s much lighter, yet it still has a lovely butter taste. No cake mix needed for this recipe either. It’s so easy to make from scratch, even beginner bakers can whip up this cake in no time!

I have been wanting to make a cake like this for awhile. The weather is finally warmer and we are craving lemons and limes! The ingredient list for this cake is fairly short, and super simple. You probably have most of them in your kitchen already! Next time you make a Walmart run, make sure to pick up 7up, invite a few friends over, and make this cake!
