No baking powder?

I just wanted to note that, at least for my oven, 60 minutes at 300 degrees wasn’t nearly enough time to bake. I ended up using 90 minutes at 300, and I’m still not 100% sure it’s completely done. I’ll find out tonight when we cut it!

It smells wonderful, though! So fingers crossed…..

A couple years too late here but just read this post…Nordic Ware makes a nice one, and if my memory serves me right, they call it a coffee cake pan or a tube cake pan. I found mine at the local WalMart. Hope this helps!

Jeanne talks about making the cakes in a mini size to give our when someone is sick or “passes.” What changes are needed in the baking time and baking temperature if you are making them mini-size?

My husband did something similar as “Left Brain” when I sent him to the store for just a bag of flour because I needed it to finish making cookies. He came back an hour later with a whole week’s supply of groceries because he refuses to drive all that way and just buy one thing! Says he’s “conserving.” Now, if I want just one thing from the store, I go get it myself. I can do that – need one thing, buy one thing!

Isn’t it sorta like sacrilege to make a pound cake called “7-up” pound cake and not use the real 7-up? I just couldn’t bear to use the generic brand, felt like I was breaking the law or something. Anywho, this is a great stable in the pantry of any Southerner or wanna-be Southerner. Thanks for the laughs with Jeanne and the memories of this cake!

Looks devine, but I’m not a baker. Will have to buy the bundt pan, all the
interesting ingredients, and hope someone will eat it. Always said when I
retire, I will become a gourmet cook, but that never happened either.

Christy, I had to share this video…such a ‘southernism’! My family always referred to people as ‘real book smart but, didn’t have no walkin’ around sense. I believe that to this day!

I LOVE Jeanne Robertson. She is one funny lady. I sort of “borrowed” this routine last year for our ladies luncheon changing it from the 7-up cake to potato salad. (Everyone knows my signature dish is potato salad). Unfortunately it has to be made at the time of need….no freezing. Just like Jeanne’s version….mine brought down the house.

I still haven’t tried the 7-Up cake but see I’m going to have to do it real soon.
