7UP Cake

 

My Middle daughter has been after me since Christmas

to post the recipe for this old family favorite cake she wants

to pinned it says she couldn't find the recipe

I could have just written it down and given it to her

but then that is so

OLD FASHIONED!

this cake will feed a large crowd and so yummy

in the summer with strawberries and whipped cream

nothing diet or low fat about it just

 old fashioned good

 

 

3 sticks of butter

3 cups sugar

5 large eggs

3 cups of flour

 3/4 cup 7up

this the one place diet soda will work but with all the butter and sugar

won't really help ;)

2 tablespoons lemon extract

 

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Stir in flour; beat in lemon extract and 7Up.

Pour batter into well greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan

Bake at 325 degrees for 60 minutes to an hour and 25 minutes

 

cool slice enjoy so yummy with a cup of coffee on a Sunday Morning

 

Have a great night...

Karen

When I planned out the challenge this was going to make a very different card

but sometimes it not about the card you want to make it's about the card

you have to make.
