I have a thing for recipes that include soda pop. I do not know why, I just do. Maybe it is the kid in me or maybe I am just wondering how someone came up with the idea. They were just standing in the kitchen and thought "hey I do not feel like finishing this so I will add it to the recipe?" Anyway, I ran across this fundraiser cook book from a local elementary school in a thrift store. I found this recipe in it and tried it last night. It is great and very easy. This might be a good dessert for the Super Bowl party!Seven-Up Pound Cake
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup Crisco
3 cups of sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
1 cup 7-up

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. All ingredients should be at room temperature.
Cream the butter and shortening[Crisco] with the sugar.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
Add flour alternately with the 7-up and vanilla.
Bake in a greased and floured Bundt pan or tube pan for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Serve with fruit. Delicious!
