Lemon 7up Cake

 

Ingredients

• 1 box lemon cake mix
• 1 small box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup 7UP soda
• ¾ cup vegetable oil

For the Lemon Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon 7UP soda

Instructions

1. Prep & Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, 7UP, and oil. Beat with a mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and 7UP until smooth.
6. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Slice and serve!
