Tips and variations for making this 7UP® Bundt Cake Recipe:
● While this is a 7UP® bundt cake recipe, the truth is any clear lemon-lime soda pop can be used.
● This is basically a pound cake, not a layer cake. It is denser than a traditional layer cake.
● If the amount of lemon extract is too much for you, you can cut the lemon extract down and substitute vanilla extra in its place. Do not go below ½ lemon extract ½ vanilla extract in proportions, or your Bundt cake will not be very lemony.
● In the US, 8 TBSP of butter = 1 stick
● Many people use a light lemon-lime glaze on top (simply confectionary sugar + lemon-lime pop (or lemon juice) instead of water or milk and a dash of lemon extract) instead of a dusting of powdered sugar. It is simply a personal preference. You can also add some lemon and/or lime peel shavings on top for garnish.
● You could also add some lemon and/or lime peel shavings to the batter if you like (do this by hand).
● And speaking of by hand… many people swear by combining the flour but adding the 7UP® by hand and folding it in (instead of alternating as my directions below)
● Make sure you heavily grease (with Crisco) and flour your bundt pan, or it will stick to the pan when you remove it.
