i tried making it today and thought it definitely is a loser recipe .. I mean the cake tastes like the usual madiera cake … 
nothing special about it …
has anyone over here made it ? please tell me what i am missing out on , why is there so much hype about this cake 
Re: 7 up cake
What is 7Up cake?
Re: 7 up cake
TLK its a freak recipe .. basically the usual cake , just that 7Up ( a whole can ) is added to the mixture instead of milk or water :no:
Re: 7 up cake
I made it once wayyyyyy back when I was a kid....I remember it had a slight taste of 7up but wasn't that bad to be honest. You sure you didn't tweak the recipe? or were there any reviews for the recipe?
Re: 7 up cake
i think its only special because of its low calories ...
Re: 7 up cake
nope no tweaking .. the cake itself tasted alright , but was a hassle ... normally i just pop in the cake and it cooks nicely in balance from the inside out .. this one started going stiff on the outside and was still way too soft from inside ... the temperature was exactly as it said in the recipe , though i did try to adjust it again after things started going wrong .. but i think that sunk the cake :(
Re: 7 up cake
That sounds so disgusting - I mean the cake itself. Ewww, who puts soda in a cake? Ewww
Re: 7 up cake
mmmm now i want 7up :burp:
CB ill try a recipe and let you know about my experiment… 
Re: 7 up cake
I think you're supposed to bake the cake the regular way and then add the can of 7-Up at the last minute, right before you serve it... that's the way my friends have made it anyway.
Re: 7 up cake
thanks Sara .. will wait for you to share the experiment results ..
Grey , no kidding ? really ? thats aweful … i mean doesnt the cake become all gooey after soaking up all the soda :no:
Re: 7 up cake
Well tbh I haven't eaten it myself, but a friend of mine has made it a lot of times and she said that it makes the cake's texture really interesting. Not fluffy, not gooey but still very light. Sorry I can't give you more details! :) Maybe try it one more time this way before you give up on it completely?
Re: 7 up cake
Yeah people put the can of soda (usually diet) instead of eggs/oil/water to lower the calories. I tried it once and did not like it. My younger sister liked it though :)
