7-Up Cake

                                    

Having my passion for baking almost completely deflated by none other than Sherry Yard, I decided to return to my roots (Cowtown baby!) and make a 7-Up cake. The recipe is from an unknown church cookbook submitted by Mrs. Philonese Thompson. It's after the jump.

Here's my video about the cake:
