Hello. Lady Caroline here. I was thinking about a recipe for spring and my daughter shared a new one with me and I thought I would pass it on. This recipe has a freshness to it but is hardy enough for tea. Don't let the name fool you. It is delicious! Feel free to pass it on as we all like to share recipes. Enjoy.


7 up Cake!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Prepare a bundt pan with your favorite non-stick spray
Bake cake for 1-1 1/2 hours depending on the accuracy of your oven

5 eggs
3 sticks butter-softened (1 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup 7-up (beverage)
3 cup flour-sifted
3 cups granualated sugar
1 Tablespoon pure lemon extract


Beat eggs, butter, & 7-up until creamed. Slowly add dry ingredients until completely mixed. Poor into bundt pan and bake until toothpick comes out clean. This time may very depending on the accuracy of your oven. Allow to cool before turning from the pan. Serve on your favorite cake dish or pedistool.

The 7-up creates an interesting crunching top. You may also drissel a lite lemon glaze over your cake before serving. Sugared lemon slices and fresh mint on the slide of the serving dish will add a little more interest to your new display.
