🍋🥤 7UP Lemon Cake – Old-Fashioned, Moist & Full of Zesty Lemon Flavor! ✨

I made this classic 7UP Lemon Cake for a family gathering last weekend, and everyone kept asking for the recipe before dessert was even over! The texture is so soft, buttery, and perfectly sweet — and that lemon glaze on top? Absolute perfection. 🍋💛

What makes this cake so special is that it’s made with real 7UP soda, just like grandma used to do. The soda gives it a light, fluffy crumb and enhances that lemony tang without being overpowering. Every bite just melts in your mouth, and it’s one of those cakes that somehow tastes even better the next day.

Whether you’re baking for a Sunday dinner, a church potluck, or just want a treat that brightens your day, this 7UP Lemon Cake never disappoints. It’s an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that’s bursting with nostalgic flavor and Southern charm. 🌞

💛 WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE:

Light, fluffy, and incredibly moist texture 🍰

Simple ingredients you probably already have at home

That refreshing lemon glaze adds the perfect tangy finish

Keeps well for days — if it even lasts that long! 😋

✨ Ingredients You’ll Need:

1 cup butter (softened)

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup 7UP soda (not diet!)

1 tsp lemon extract

1 tsp vanilla extract

Lemon Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 tsp lemon zest

🧁 Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in lemon and vanilla extracts.
  5. Add flour alternately with 7UP, beginning and ending with flour.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool slightly before drizzling with that sweet-tart lemon glaze. 🍋

💫 Pro Tip: Warm the cake slightly before serving — it makes that glaze extra glossy and delicious.

I promise, this recipe will have everyone talking. It’s light enough for spring and summer, yet comforting enough to enjoy year-round. Serve it with a glass of cold lemonade or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect combo. 🍦🍋
