7-up replaces the liquid in the cake batter, giving it a lighter texture and slight citrus flavor. The filling is a creamy, pudding-like filling with coconut and pineapple. A tropical treat!
1 package (4 serving size) vanilla instant pudding mix
1 box (18 ounce size) white or yellow cake mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
10 ounces 7-up
FILLING
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 can (8 ounce size) crushed pineapple, drained
1 can (4 ounce size) coconut
1/2 cup nuts
Combine pudding mix, cake mix and vegetable oil. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend 7-Up into batter.
Pour into three 9" cake pans that have been greased and floured. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.
Remove layers from pans and cool on racks. Spread filling between layers and on top of cake.
Filling: Mix sugar and flour. Add slightly beaten eggs and butter or margarine. Place in top of a double boiler and cook until consistency of syrup. Add remaining 3 ingredients.
Variation: Use lemon cake mix and instant pineapple pudding mix.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

Moist wonderful flavorful delicious cake. You can't go wrong with it. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe.

I varied this just a little. I made the cake as directed except baked it in a 13x9 pan. While it was still warm I made the icing. I didn't let it get quite as thick as gravy. I poked holes in the cake and spread the icing over. TO DIE FOR!!!

Made this cake for a friend's family dinner. I am being considered for a top spot in the family now! I used the pineapple filling between the layers and frosted the cake with a cream cheese frosting, absolutely amazing!

Very good cake. Loved the frosting. It was different than the recipe I used many years ago and better. I used cake mix with pudding all ready in it.

This is an absolutely wonderful, super moist cake! I needed clearer directions for the filling, because it never did look like "syrup" which I think of as clear. It was more like batter or gravy in consistency,and it got thicker the longer I cooked it. Still, whether it turned out "right" or not, my family loved it and I will be making it again...and again...etc! A good party cake, although not so much in looks as in flavor.

Aunt Ruthie made this cake years and years ago. She passed in 1975. She also made the Red Velvet cake, a cake with candy orange slices in it (you flour the scissors to cut them up) and many good pies! The secret is a really delicious crust! Aunt Ruthie, this is for YOU!!!

I made the "cake" portion of this recipe for my inlaws for their birthdays and it turned out absolutely wonderful! I didn't use the frosting/icing recipe, but instead made my own cream cheese/whipped cream frosting, decorated the cake with strawberries. I brought what was left of the cake into work to share and my co-workers loved it too. They commented on how moist it was and said it was one of the best cakes they have ever had. I will definitely make this cake again!
I have been searching for an easier 'from the box' recipe, so I thank you!!!! for posting this. All other recipes were for pound cake and had loads of butter. I am really excited to try this for my jewelry party this evening. thanks!!

My son was sick over the weekend so we had 7-up in the refrigerator. We were all laying around the house and wanted something a little sweet. I had a box of cake mix in the house so I thought that I would look up recipes for yellow cake mixes. Not only did my 3 year old and 7 year old love putting 7-up in the recipe, we had a delightful surprise after it was baked; the most moist, sweet and wonderfully delicious dessert!!! My husband ate 3 pieces before his basketball game(oops!) He can blame that one on himself! Yummy!!!! Yummy!!!

Read my (true!) story before you consider making this cake. My husband and I were healthy, lean, fitness freaks who enjoyed occasional desserts. Then I made this as a birthday cake and it was so addicting we locked ourselves in the house all weekend, didn't work out, and hid in the kitchen eating all the cake. I used diet 7-up and sugar-free white chocolate instant pudding mix, but it still isn't a balanced breakfast :o) The filling I made was a citrus curd whipped with marshmallow creme and the frosting was cream cheese, powdered sugar and the rest of the curd mixed together. The cake is moist and needs little filling - great flavor and texture on its own. Note: we live above 5000 ft. and did *not* adjust the recipe for altitude, so I suggest following it exactly at least up to 6000 feet above sea level. Seriously, just make it when you have 10 people over to help you eat it all in one sitting or you may turn into obsessive cake fiends like we did.
