7Up Cake
Serves: 12 | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 45-55 min
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 package Better Batter Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 large box (5 oz) lemon pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 c oil of your choice (I use vegetable oil)
- 3/4 c 7Up or lemon-lime soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 1 1/2 c Powdered Sugar
- 3-4 Tbsp milk
- Bundt or tube pan
- Vegetable shortening for greasing the pan
- 1-2 Tbsp Better Batter Gluten Free Flour for flouring the pan
Instructions
Preheat and pan prep. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Generously grease and flour your cake pan and tap out excess flour.
Prepare the cake batter. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil, 7Up soda, and vanilla extract and beat well for 2-3 minutes. The batter will have a thicker consistency than a normal cake batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and use a spatula or spoon to smooth out the top.
Bake the cake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Rotate the pan halfway through baking, using a sheet of foil to tent the cake after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning. The cake will fall slightly after coming out of the oven but let cool 10 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the glaze. Once the cake has cooled, combine powdered sugar and 3 Tbsp milk in a small bowl. Whisk together to your desired consistency, adding more milk to thin or more powdered sugar to thicken the glaze. Spoon glaze on top of the cake and serve.
