My kids have been crazy for pineapple and coconut lately. When I came across this old recipe for pineapple 7UP cake from an old church cookbook, I knew it would be a hit. It’s a moist cake with a not-too-sweet cooked frosting that is almost custard like. This easy cake is great for potlucks and picnics.
Some 7UP cakes are made from scratch and are in a bundt cake form, but this pineapple 7UP cake is made from a box cake mix. A small box of dry pudding mix, eggs, oil and 7UP make this cake not only easy, but very moist and flavorful.
