Seven-Up Cake

This recipe came to me in 1980 from a friend I worked with. She told me she had been making this almost since 7-Up and cake mixes were both just babies. It is really good and moist too. My church family loves it.

How to Make Seven-Up Cake

Step-by-Step

1CAKE;
Stir cake mix and pudding together.
2combine oil and eggs, beat lightly and add to cake mix along with the 7-up. Only mix to combine well. If you beat it a lot the layers will tear easily when baked.
3Bake at 350* in 3 9 inch layer pans. My oven cooks them in 28 minutes. Let rest in pans on wire rack for 10 min. then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
4FROSTING;
Combine sugar and flour, stir well.
In a 3 qt boiler put your butter, pineapple and eggs. Combine well before you add the sugar mixture. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook till thickened. Stir in cocoanut last.
5Spread between layers and on top and sides. Sometimes I just put it between the layers and leave the sides naked. Or frost sides with cool whip if you're going to serve it the same day.
