Swans Down 7 Up Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This wonderfully light and fluffy cake is a delicious dessert that is surprisingly easy to make. It is made from a few simple ingredients and requires no baking. The base of the cake consists of a store-bought white cake mix, 7 Up, eggs, and oil. To give the cake a bit more flavor, you can add some vanilla extract, almond extract, or other flavoring. To top it off, you can add a simple glaze or a more complex cream cheese frosting.
For the cake:
- 1 box Swans Down White Cake Mix
- 1 can 7 Up (12 oz.)
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, 7 Up, eggs, oil, and extracts (if using). Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting with a cream cheese frosting or glazing.
Nutrition
This cake is a delicious and indulgent treat, but it does contain a lot of sugar and fat. A single serving of the cake contains around 350 calories, 16 grams of fat, and 38 grams of sugar. If you are watching your calorie or fat intake, you may want to limit your portion size or opt for a lighter frosting or glaze.
If you are looking for a healthier alternative, you can try substituting the 7 Up with a lower calorie soda, such as Sprite Zero or Diet 7 Up. You can also use a sugar-free cake mix and sugar-free frosting or glaze. This will significantly reduce the sugar and calorie content of the cake.
Tips and Tricks
This cake is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit any taste. Try adding some fresh fruit such as blueberries or strawberries to the batter for a fruity twist. You can also try different extracts or flavorings, such as almond or lemon, to give the cake a unique flavor. Get creative and experiment with different toppings, such as a chocolate ganache or a meringue frosting.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
This is a wonderful cake to bring to a potluck or picnic. It is light, fluffy, and sure to be a hit with family and friends!
