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

  • 1
    CAKE; Stir cake mix and pudding together.
  • 2
    combine 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.
  • 3
    Bake 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.
  • 4
    FROSTING; 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.

    Spread 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.
