A soda and a cake… this is every kid’s dream come true, right? With the few amount of ingredients it takes to make this cake, it’s like a #ThrowbackThursday showing how Grannies were making “insanely easy” cakes before anyone ever thought about putting them on a blog. Let me tell you, I don’t even drink soda pops (i.e. “cokes” because I’m from the south where everything is a coke, y’all) and I loved this cake! I’m also a bit of an airhead that doesn’t use the oven because I forget it is on – but when I have a baking goal, I get it done. This one made my life easy. Y’all know how much I love old things, right? Well, I was elated when my NeeNee scanned and sent me the 7UP Cake recipe, along with a few more! I keep bragging about how simple, good and old it is – let me elaborate.
Ingredients + Directions
Only 7-8 ingredients, and it can even be done without high-tech kitchen tools. I was in the moving process when I made this cake so I did not have my mixer. I mixed and folded everything in with the shear strength of my little bitty arms. They were tired, but it worked. Grab a large spoon and make it happen, no excuses. I used a bundt pan because it automatically makes every cake pretty!
If you’re on dessert duty during the holiday season, this is an easy cake to make from scratch and impress your guests with!
What is your favorite old-fashioned cake or dessert?
Wow, I haven’t had 7UP cake in years! This looks so easy to make and I need to make this someday. Pinning for later, thanks girl!
You’re welcome, Lou! I hope the pin comes in handy one day =)
this is definitely a record I gave always said that I need to try. I am definitely going to have to do it now. Your pics look great as well!
Yaye, I hope it turns out well for you, Kimberly! Thank you =)
It is totally crazy to realize that sometimes our Grams and Gramps (and NeeNees) have been doing it more frugally and smarter a lot longer than we realize! lol
They were masters at it lol, we’ve lost touch with our frugality! haha =)
Yes, that is an easy recipe for sure. Sounds yummy! Pinning to my cake board and adding 7Up to the grocery list.
Yaye for pins! I hope the pin comes in handy! =)
Easy and cake in the same sentence? Winner! Thanks and I am Pinning this, too.
My sentiments exactly, Pascha =)
Very interesting.. it sounds like it would taste great! Thanks for the recipe share.
You’re welcome, Kungphoo!
Where have I been? I don’t think I have ever hear of a 7UP cake. Sounds delicious! I guess I am going to have to try it!
Lol, I’m a bit behind in the desserts area, too, Tara. I hope you like it! =)

Awesome, Sarah! =)
Wow, I haven’t heard about it before. It’s so easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
No problem, Ardhendu =)
Fab idea for the cake.
My fave is old fashioned apple pie… always
I have this weird thing about pies lol, but that sounds so good, too!
I haven’t had a 7up cake in YEARS! The older woman in my grandmother’s neighborhood used to make one every year. Now that she is gone, no one had the recipe! Thanks!
Oh that’s awesome! I’m glad you can have the recipe now, LaShawn! =)
This sounds delicious and it seems easy to make.
it was very easy =)
Over the years I’ve always heard about this cake but never met anyone who actually made it. My grandmothers only made a regular pound cake. I can’t wait until the day I can actually taste one.
The same here, Regina. I was so happy when my NeeNee sent me the recipe and how easy it was!
Wow! Perfectly done! I’m beginning to love your recipe!
Thanks, Manu!
that looks amazing. i could use that right now
its easy girl, go get your ingredients and make it =)
Thanks for joining our hop. check back next week .
Will do, Jen! =)
That cake looks so good! I’m going to take you up on it and make this easy to bake cake.
Awesome, Eliz!! I hope you like it =D
Oh wow! I’ve heard of 7UP cake before but never tried it. Thanks for this recipe!
Excellent job on the pics! looks appetizing & I actually have all of these ingredients in my cupboard already. I see some baking happening in my near future… 😉
Haha, it’s so easy you don’t even have to go to the store! Thanks, and I hope you like it 🙂
This sounds like such a fun idea! I’ve heard of Mountain Dew sorbet, but 7uP cake sounds delicious!

I haven’t heard of the sorbet, that sounds tasty! Thanks, Lisa 🙂
I’ve never heard of 7up cake before. This sounds delicious.
Thanks, Jenny!
I remember my gramma making this cake when I was a little kid – I haven’t had it in forever though. Thanks for the memories you’ve brought to mind!
