I was recently introduced to the deliciousness of 7UP Pound Cake. It is a classic, and I understand why. OMG, was it good! I LOVE pound cake, but this one outdoes them all. This pound cake is so light and moist. I’m honestly not that much into soda, but I just had to share the best recipe ever for using carbonated beverages.
The fizz of the 7UP and zing of the lemon makes this pound cake irresistible. The fizz creates a light and fluffy texture, and the lemon/lime adds a new flavor dimension. That with a cup of coffee, and you are good to go.
7UP used to have lithium and was considered medicinal. Didn’t Coca-Cola start as medicine, too? I don’t have a problem using 7Up as medicine . And don’t think you have to have 7UP. Sprite Pound Cake, or simply Lemon Lime Pound Cake, is just as good.

Do I have to use 7-Up? You can substitute any kind of lemon-lime soda in place of the 7-Up like Sprite, but I’ve also seen recipes that use Squirt, which is a carbonated grapefruit soda! I’ve actually used ginger ale to make these biscuits, too, and they turned out great. Just don’t skip the soda.

Can I replace 7UP with Sprite (or any other soda)?
While most people say that you should always use 7UP because it has more carbonation, I don’t. Don’t feel you have to miss out on this incredible cake just because you have Sprite or Sierra Mist instead of 7UP. Even if you have generic lemon-lime soda, don’t sweat it. My suggestion is to increase the baking soda by a ¼ teaspoon to give it the extra lift.
- All-purpose flour – This is a good opportunity to use cake flour for a light, melt-in-your-mouth cake. Replace each cup of all-purpose flour with 1⅛ cup of cake flour.
- 7UP – A substitute that you may not have thought of that would be awesome is ginger ale. Lemon and ginger are great friends, and they would be a delicious combination in this cake. Or how about cherry 7UP? Yum!!! Actually, just about any carbonated beverage would do. Orange Fanta, Dr. Pepper (almond and vanilla sound good), cream soda, or pineapple would all make an excellent pound cake.
- Sugar – if you’re trying to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet, or you simply like desserts that aren’t as sweet, you can eliminate up to 1 cup of sugar with no worries.
Best Sides and Toppings for 7UP Pound Cake
As always, I love to serve this pound cake with my Homemade Whipped Cream. You can also add fresh strawberries, cherries, or a Tropical Fruit Salad. And don’t forget about vanilla ice cream and a cup of coffee. ☕️

What can I substitute for chili pepper?
There are many varieties of chili peppers that have varying levels of heat. Typically, the larger the pepper, the milder the heat. If you don’t have chili peppers for the spicy kick needed in a dish you can substitute cayenne pepper or hot paprika. Start with small amounts to taste, then add more if the dish is not spicy enough. For individuals who don’t like spicy food, a mild sweet paprika works as a replacement, or simply use less chili pepper than the recipe calls for. You can also try bell peppers if you are looking to replace nutrients lost by removing chili pepper. For those who are allergic to peppers in general, the appropriate substitution will depend on the specific recipe. Many times chili pepper can be left out of a recipe. Experimentation is best way to find out what works.

These 7UP Biscuits might just be the easiest biscuits you’ll ever make. It may seem a little odd to use soda in your baking recipes, but it’s actually a genius idea. In fact, it’s the secret ingredient in my 7UP Cake Recipe, 3-Ingredient Bisquick Biscuits made with Sprite, and Coca-Cola Cake.

Sprite is considered to be the healthier soda as 7-Up is less natural and has more harmful ingredients added, such as: Artificial flavors are not always harmful to your health, but they can’t come with side effects that we still don’t know too much about. This also creates an artificial flavor that you may be able to notice in 7-Up.
