7Up Cake With Orange Sauce
When you host your next dinner party, and want something easy yet
impressive and a bit out-of-the-ordinary to serve, try this 7 Up Cake with
Orange Sauce.
7 UP Cake is not new. I think the recipe first circulated in the late 1960s.
But this particular recipe for 7 Up Cake is a bit different (most other
recipes call for lemon flavoring) and most of them don't include the
Orange Sauce. The cake is delicious plain too, but the orange sauce
makes it even better.
7 UP CAKE
1 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. shortening
3 c. sugar
5 eggs (at room temperature)
3 c. flour, sifted 3 times
3/4 c. 7 Up
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. butternut flavoring
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cream butter, shortening, and sugar together. Add eggs, one at a time,
and beat well. Add sifted flour and 7 Up (alternately), beating well. Add
vanilla extract and butternut flavoring. Mix well. Pour into greased bundt
pan or angel food tube pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until
toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.
Let the cake completely cool before serving.
ORANGE SAUCE
2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. orange juice (more or less)
Put powdered sugar in a saucepan. Add enough orange juice to make a
paste. Heat the mixture until the powdered sugar dissolves and the
paste becomes more of a sauce. Add a little more orange juice, if
needed.
Pour a tablespoon or so of warm Orange Sauce over each slice of cake
right before serving or put the orange sauce in a heat resistant pitcher
and let everyone pour the sauce over their slice of cake themselves.
M-m-m...your family and guests are sure to be pleased and impressed.
