curious if other clear sodas could stand in for the seven up? Compared to cakes made with Sprite, Fresca, Mountain Dew and ginger ale the seven up cake was indistinguishable except for all but one -- the Fresca cake which was pale and tough. Blame it on the artificial sweeteners and be sure to avoid diet seven up for the same reason. source unknown

    Spread the batter into prepared pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any trapped air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 75 to 90 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet to cool completely about two hours.
