Pineapple 7-Up Cake is a lemon-flavored cake covered in a thick, luscious pineapple-coconut frosting. Made with cake mix and instant pudding mix, this cake is fabulously moist and easy to make. Perfect for summer potlucks with its bright citrusy and pineapple flavors.

 
Baking with soft drinks has been popular in the south for generations. You’ll find recipes for this cake in lots of old southern church cookbooks. It’s a popular potluck dessert.
The 7-Up in this cake not only gives the cake more citrus flavor, it also lightens up the texture. The gooey, sweet icing is the perfect contrast for the lightly textured cake.

 
Tips for making Pineapple 7-Up Cake:
If you want less lemon flavor, you can use a box of vanilla pudding mix instead of lemon-flavored pudding mix. The frosting will soak into the cake some, making it even more moist. To prevent it from soaking in too much, let the frosting cool and thicken slightly before spreading it on the cake.
Add more or less coconut to the frosting based on personal preferences.
If you like pecans, some toasted chopped pecans taste great in the frosting. Add 1/2 a cup or a little more.
This cake should be stored in the refrigerator.
