7-Up Bundt Cake

dsc04190

Still here folks…sorry it’s been so long.  I feel so guilty when I don’t say hi for that long, but life has been hard.  I’m hanging in there, and hopefully in a couple of weeks we’ll have a new little baby here, but in the meantime, here is a simple dessert that will fool everyone into thinking you spent all day in the kitchen, but this recipe has a lot of cheating going on (boxed caked mix).  If you don’t like cheating, than by all means, don’t try it out!  But my life requires it right now!  And you would never know it.  It is delicious and lemony and all that good stuff that I so adore.  I could seriously eat this entire cake all by myself.  And for the next couple of weeks, no one would say a word, but once this baby comes, my life will have to turn healthy for a while.  I’m enjoying it while I can but I have lots of baby weight to work off.  But enough about that, I miss you guys and hopefully will be back to full time blogging soon!  Have a good week!

    Bundt cakes are my favorite and this one sounds fantastic! Hope the next two weeks fly by for you! I know how miserable it is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant in hot weather.

    Looking forward to the announcement of your new little bundle!

    I’ve never seen a cake with 7up, that’s interesting. Good luck with the end of the pregnancy.

    I was so glad to get a recipe that sounds yummy. I just bought a new bundt pan and wanted to try a recipe that I have not heard of before. It looks delicious. Good luck with the baby.

    Awww, we miss you, too!! Hope all is well with you. Can’t wait for your little one to make an appearance soon! In the mean time, this cake looks great. You’d never know it had some “cheating” going on :) Yum!

    The only cheatin’ I’ll do is the bakin’ kind! You know I’ve made Bakerella’s sprite cake and it was wonderful so I bet this is just as good! Your photo is lovely!

    Happy holiday weekend!

    Hmmm, I should be working off the baby weight, but I just want to make this cake and eat the whole thing! Hope everything is well and I can’t wait for the new baby!

    I’ve never heard of a cake with 7-up, just the usual coke so this would be a great one to try. Best wishes to you and the baby on the way. Take care.

  13. Michelle on June 6th, 2009 3:42 pm

    ooo- this looks good. I think I’ll make it tonight. I’m also into easy recipes like this. I to have a baby due in the next couple weeks. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  14. Traci on June 8th, 2009 3:30 pm

    This sounded delicious and easy (my two requirements) and so my 3 year old and I made it yesterday. It was so yummy, and I found that I liked it better cold than warm–the lemon flavor really comes out when it cools all the way to room temperature!

  15. Jennifer on June 15th, 2009 5:23 pm

    7-up?! Wow what a great idea!! Looks so yummy!

Got something to say?
