ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
5 eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup 7-up
Glaze
1/4 cup 7-up
1/2 cup sugar
directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
Combine butter, shortening, sugar, vanilla and almond extract in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt, and add to butter/sugar mixture alternately with 1 cup 7 UP, beating well after each addition. Spoon batter into prepared 10-inch tube pan, and bake for 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert on serving plate and remove pan.
While cake is cooling, make the glaze by stirring together the 7 UP and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and boil 2 or 3 minutes or until sugar is completely dissolved. Punch holes in top of warm cake with a toothpick. Spoon glaze over cake, and cool completely before serving.

I've been making this cake for years. Lost my copy of the recipe and was happy to find it here! It's a very moist cake. I usually add another glaze on top of the 7up glaze made with powdered sugar to add extra sweetness as we have really like sweets at my house.

I bake cakes for a living and this cake is waaaaaaaaay to sweet you need to cut the sugar in half and use cake flour instead of regular, with regular flour it's a very heavy cake, i'm not saying anything about moisture because that was good. and it could use an extra tsp. lemon extract. Don't forget to FOLD in the 7-up instead of beat!
My grandmother made the best 7up cake ever I was just wondering do I have to use rising flour? And will it taste just like 7up? Because my grannys was right on the money, tasted just like 7up, a few friends have made them for me and they tasted just like butter, I don't want that taste I was the 7up taste. Thank you
Where's the sugar?

I made this cake yesterday and my family cant get enough of it. Im going to Johnson&Wales in Rhode Island for Pastry Arts and i was just trying to widen my variety in things I already know how to make. My dad loved it so much that he took some to his co-workers. Thanx

This cake turned out very well. I paired it with cut up strawberries and it was a big hit. I made it in a loaf pan and cut it into slices.

I have made this cake for 2 years in a row and it is unbelievable. As a southern cook pound cake is a sacred thing. This recipe only needs the addition of an extra stick of butter for you to have that authenic pound cake you desire. Good Luck!
Flour should be 3 cups and there should be 3 cups of sugar added.

Something is totally missing in this recipe. I tried it twice and it came out like cookie dough.
do you use cake flour or regular

I bake a lot of cakes, particularly Pound Cakes and sell them as my part-time business. Some weeks I bake more than 50 cakes so I'm always looking for easy scratch cakes. I found this cake very easy to prepare with very good taste & texture.
This has to a misprint, there is no sugar listed in this recipe.
