February 21, 2012

made another sandwich loaf today....this time with BREAD flour...did not come out at all....so back to making it with regular flour (recipe on january 29, 2012)

found a 7up 2 liter in the cupboard that we bought for the grandkids for Christmas and just forgot to get it out.....decided to make my favorite BUNDT cake recipe that calls for 7up.

7up/Sprite Cake: (Allstar Feast Cookbook 1997....page 9)
1 1/2 cups butter
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
3/4 cup 7up/Sprite
2 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp vanilla
combine butter and sugar...add in eggs...add in flour one cup at a time.....beat until thick....add pop and extracts....beat again.....pour into lightly greased bundt pan. Bake at 325 for 1 hour 25 minutes.... turn out onto cooling rack.  We have used this recipe with Orange pop and orange extract and it tastes excellent as well.

Bundt Cake Glaze: (Betty Crocker page 89)
1/3 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 - 4 Tbsp hot water

melt butter....stir in powdered sugar and vanilla...add water 1 Tbsp at a time until smooth and thick like syrup.




wouldn't win a blue ribbon at fair for presentation...but it tasted wonderful!!!

Pleasant Dreams!!!
