Easy Lemon 7Up Cake
Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix (or homemade equivalent)
- 1 small box instant lemon pudding mix (optional for extra lemon flavor)
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup 7Up soda (or any lemon-lime soda)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional for extra zing)
For the glaze (optional):
- ½ cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth.
- Slowly add 7Up soda and fold in gently. The batter will be bubbly!
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, mix powdered sugar and lemon juice to make a glaze.
- Remove cake from oven, let it cool slightly, then drizzle glaze over the top.
- Slice and enjoy your light, fluffy, lemony cake! 🍰
Why It Works
- 7Up soda reacts with the cake mix to make it extra moist and airy.

- Quick, simple, and perfect for weeknight desserts or gatherings.
💡 Extra Tip:
You can also make cupcakes using this batter—just bake 18–20 minutes instead of 35–40, and you’ll have individual, fun servings.
