How to Make 7 Up Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixer bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup 7 Up, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 100-110 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
