Believe it or not, I have never ever had 7-up Cake before today.
I was trying to deal with the magazine infestation that has plagued me for some time when I came across a recipe for the cake in an old issue of Cooks Illustrated. Sounded good. So I clipped the recipe and bought the ingredients.
Then, I promptly lost the clipping, though I have the other things I kept from that issue of the magazine. So I found a different recipe online.
A cake was born.
