Here’s a classic 7UP Lemon Cake recipe—light, fluffy, and naturally citrusy.
🍋 7UP Lemon Cake
🥣 Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (≈15.25 oz)
- 1 box lemon instant pudding mix (≈3.4 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup 7UP (or any lemon-lime soda)
- Optional: powdered sugar or lemon glaze for topping
🔪 Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 350°F (175°C)
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or bundt pan
- Mix batter:
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and 7UP
- Beat until smooth and fully combined
- Bake:
- Pour batter into prepared pan
- Bake 30–35 minutes (for 9×13 pan) or until a toothpick comes out clean
- Cool & serve:
- Let cake cool before serving
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with lemon glaze if desired
💡 Tips
- 7UP makes it extra moist: The carbonation lightens the batter naturally
- Lemon glaze idea: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar + 2 tbsp lemon juice, drizzle over cake
- Optional add-ins: Lemon zest for stronger citrus flavor
This cake is simple, soft, and perfect for any occasion—no fancy ingredients needed.
I can also give you a no-pudding version that’s even lighter and quicker, still using 7UP. Do you want that version?
