    Heyyy girl, I commented 5 years telling you how good this recipe turned out. 2022 is here and it is still my most requested cake to bake. My mom loved it so much that she made me bake it for her bday every year since I discovered it from your channel. Sadly, I lost her to Covid last year august and today I’m missing her like crazy so I’m going to bake this cake right now to feel closer to her. So thankful to you for creating something that gave me memories with my mama. May God bless you forever.

    I made this two days ago and my mom took some to our job to share. One coworker said it melts in his mouth like butter. Another is wondering if I’m taking orders. I changed it (I’m bad at sticking to a recipe); instead of shortening, I just added another stick of butter and I substituted the lemon extract for 2 tsp if fresh lemon juice. Now I just need someone’s son to take a bite and propose.😂

      Thank you! I hate artificial butter taste, it ruins sweets for me so I will just use the extra butter instead of butter flavor Crisco.

    Moooonique!!! Ok first of all I’ve been following you since your potato salad from like 15 years ago! And you weren’t even talking in it- it was subtitled. You thought me how to cook( I didn’t cook before I got engaged). It’s always been just me.
    I made this recipe (the ultimate 7up pound cake) yesterday, and it took me back to growing up in the church days. Staying at church alll day from Sunday school, regular service and afternoon service, and the meals after church in the fellowship hall. I remember the slices of cake on the small paper plates! THIS IS DEFINITELY THAT CHUU’CH cake! I didn’t even make it to putting glaze on it, it’s that good! Half the cake is gone already!!
    But let’s talk about this cookbook of yours! This cookbook makes me feel like we’re besties and you’re telling about your most intimate moments.
    I’ve laughed, smiled, had a bunch of “oh my goodness moments”, and cried!
    Your “ dirty south story” had.me.rollin’
    I cried real tears on how you met your husband, how you stood up for your friend Annie. To smiling at the fact that you and your siblings are all grown, close and successful. And laughing my ass off at you throwing a frozen chicken patty at your sisters forehead and making a direct hit like you was David and she she was Goliath. That betadine part-- ooochile! lol
    ❤ your take on what it takes to have a “good marriage”! ( I’m taking note)
    I’m so glad you came out with this cookbook. Just a little secret between us, within these 15 years, I got all of your ebooks/pdfs/blog cookbooks (all 3) and printed them and put them in notebooks. You, Chile, taught me how to cook. These recipes got me to keep a boyfriend and get engaged!
    I’m proud of you and how consistent you’ve been allll these years! Now look at you with your 1million plus followers!
    Love ya like a close friend!

    I made this recipe this weekend, and it was SOOOO good moist and delicious. I mistakenly added 1/2 cup Whipping Cream but I just dropped the amount of soda by a 1/4 cup. Even with that mistake it still came out DELICIOUS. I'LL be using this recipe for years to come.

    So I decided to make this recipe today after viewing like 50 UA-cam video on how to make 7up pound cake. I'm sooooooo happy I choose this one. My family loved and my husband,who's a picky eater I might add, said it was the best cake he's had. Cheers to you and your amazing recipe. You definitely have a subscriber!!

  • @katfletcher3022

    I made this cake yesterday and DAMN! It is amazing! I would honestly say, if you're sceptic whether to try it or not, do it. It tastes amazing. I didn't add in the extra lemon and lime, but I used the lemon extract. (It smelled kinda funky when it was raw but it tastes like fresh lemon when cooked)

  • @beautifulsoul7776
    @beautifulsoul7776 7 років тому +3

    This recipe is the best! I made it twice within the past two days because my family enjoyed it so. Texture is on point and its very moist. I also made one with heavy whipping cream and salted butter, and one with buttermilk and unsalted butter. They both came out awesome😊😊

  • @Mizz_Vee
    @Mizz_Vee Рік тому

    I made this cake yesterday with hesitation because the measurements on the recipe didn't look like what you were using in the video. I thought you were withholding pertinent information. Needless to say, I made it because my coworker wanted one for the holidays, and I told her that I would try to make one for her. I followed your recipe to the "T." Let's just say that I will never doubt you again because BABY! This cake is so freaking good and moist. My best cake yet. I appreciate you❤

    MoMo I made this last night. I love your recipes you make it look so easy! All the measurements are in the description on her blog for the sake of time in her videos. My glaze wasn't as white as yours it went on kinda clear. Maybe it was the lemon juice I added I like my glaze a little tart. But this was my first pound cake EVER and it went quite well. I love you so much I'd love to see longer videos I enjoy you!

Being a man, I'm a griller and a basic box cooker but i'm willing to take a chance on baking a cake because I love it so much and I miss my Aunt! So what better place to learn some tips than on youtube!?

      If you're looking for a pound cake that is zestier than this one, i might suggest replacing the 7up with lemon and lime juice.
