7Up Cake with Cake Mix
This moist and tender vintage cake is made with 7Up, and topped with a pineapple coconut frosting.
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1 (5.1 oz) box instant vanilla pudding
- 4 eggs
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 1 (12 oz) can 7Up
For the frosting:
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
For the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Place the cake mix, instant pudding, 4 eggs, vegetable oil, and 7Up in a large bowl. Whisk until ingredients are combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
For the frosting:
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour, sugar, and pineapple + its juices. Place over medium heat.
- Bring to a simmer, then add the eggs and melted butter, whisking constantly so the eggs don’t scramble. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in the coconut.
- Pour the frosting over the still-warm cake, and let cool completely before slicing. The frosting will firm up as it cools.
Notes
You can substitute Sprite for the 7Up, if you'd like.
Want a simple glaze instead of the frosting? Stir together one-half cup powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of 7Up. Pour that over the cake instead of the frosting.
Leftovers: store any remaining 7Up cake in the refrigerator or at room temperature, tightly covered.
