7 Up Cake
Cake:
1 package (18.25 ounces) plain yellow cake mix
1 package (3.4 ounces) vanilla instant pudding mix
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
10 ounces 7 Up
Pineapple Coconut Icing:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter or margarine
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained and liquid reserved for another use
1 1/2 cups frozen unsweetened coconut or sweetened flaked coconut
1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly mist a 13- by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil spray. Set the pan aside.
2. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Mix on
low speed for 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the bowl. Add about 2
ounces of 7 Up at a time, mixing on low after each addition for about 15 to 20
seconds. When all the liquid is added, mix on medium speed for 1 minute. Pour
into the prepared pan and bake until the cake is golden brown and springs back
when lightly pressed with your finger, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove the pan from the
oven and place it on a wire rack to cool
3. Meanwhile, prepare the Pineapple Coconut Icing. Melt the butter or margarine
in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in
the eggs. Combine the flour and sugar and whisk this into the egg mixture until
well blended. Return the pan to medium heat, and cook for 10 minutes, whisking
constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a slight boil. Remove the
pan from the heat and add the drained pineapple. Return the pan to the heat for
another 2 minutes, stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the
coconut until well blended. Slowly pour the icing over the cooled cake, and
spread it evenly.
