What to Serve with 7-up Cake?

Possible Variations and Substitutions!

  1. Soda Swap: Don’t have 7Up on hand? No problemo! Any lemon-lime soda will do the trick. They might taste a tad different, but trust me, it won’t change the flavor of your cake. However, if you can swing it, stick with 7Up because its fizziness helps your cake get that awesome rise!
  2. Thick Glaze Lover: Are you someone who likes their glaze on the thicker side? Go ahead and add more confectioners’ sugar to satisfy your sweet tooth. It’s as simple as that!
  3. Zesty Twist: Want to kick up the citrus flavor a notch? Throw in some lemon zest! It adds a zingy punch that’ll make your taste buds dance with joy.
  4. Pan Alternatives: So, you don’t have a Bundt pan lying around? No biggie! You can still make this delicious cake in 2 loaf pans or a regular tube pan. Get creative with what you’ve got!
