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.

Ok-here's your thought for the day.

The setting of the sun is very much like life;
it happens whether we notice or not.
Like sunsets, some days can be more spectacular
than others. However, countless sunsets, as well as
numerous days, can all slip past us unaware. But then
there are days when we find ourselves in exactly the right
place at precisely the right time, when we catch those few
brief awe-inspiring moments of a sunset in all its glory.
Those are the moments that can absolutely take our breath
away, and in them, we just know that we are all part of
something so magnificent and yet so difficult to comprehend.
But in those sacred seconds a communion takes place, and
our incomprehension no longer matters.

May your days be blessed. I am in anticipation of our next meeting.
