SHIRLEY TEMPLE CAKE

Who remembers having Shirley Temples growing up? I’ll be honest. I don’t know that this famous childhood drink was part of my younger years. But now that I’m older? I totally want to jump on the Shirley Temple bandwagon…especially when it comes to this Shirley Temple Cake! It’s a traditional bundt cake with maraschino cherries baked inside. Then the cake is infused with a powdered sugar lemon glaze. Feel free to make it use vanilla or almond flavoring if you don’t like so much tart lemon.

7UP CAKE
Don’t let the fact there there is no baking powder or baking soda fool you. This dense, yet moist doesn’t need it because of the 7Up! 7Up pound cake is a classic recipe, and this cherry filled cake is a fun twist on that old fashioned recipe.

CHERRY BUNDT CAKE
Bundt cakes are easy to mix together. There are just a handful of ingredients and you mix them as you would any other cake. Drain the cherries before you add them to the batter, but be sure to reserve the cherry juice. You’ll poke holes in the baked cakes and pour that sweet juice in. It gives the cake a pretty look…and makes it taste delicious.

• 1 1/2 cups butter (softened)
• 3 cups granulated sugar
