Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix (approx. 15.25 oz)
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple with juice
  • 12 oz 7UP soda (fresh and fizzy)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted

Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Baking Pan: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of your cake later.
  2. Mix the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple including its juice, and the 7UP soda. Stir gently to blend everything evenly without overmixing, which could toughen the cake.
  3. Add Eggs and Melted Butter: Crack in the eggs and pour in the melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and silky, making sure no dry spots remain.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting: While the cake cools, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  6. Frost the Cooled Cake: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. For a final flourish, garnish with pineapple chunks or maraschino cherries if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs and butter to ensure a smooth batter and even mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and airy.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting or sliding.
  • Ensure the 7UP is fresh and fizzy for the best light texture.
  • Optional: For an ultra-moist cake, poke holes in the warm cake and drizzle extra pineapple juice or soda before frosting.
