If you’re from the South, odds are, you’ve at least heard of a 7UP cake before if you haven’t had the pleasure of savoring a piece for yourself. Perhaps the epitome of cake bakery, soda cakes are ineffably moist and yield to a fork like hot butter on a steak. The cake's delicate crumb surpasses that of any deftly mixed batter, and the explosion of flavor cannot be overstated. In short, it's soda cakes or bust.
While they might seem a bit out of the norm compared to their more mainstream contemporaries, soda cakes are actually deeply rooted in the ingenuity of perspicacious southern cooks who found ways to get resourceful with things readily at their disposal. No baking powder? No problem! The carbonation from whatever bubbly beverage you have on hand is plenty to give cakes and breads that familiar lofty rise.

Although today’s recipes have been adapted to incorporate the leavening properties of chemical agents in tandem with a variety of soda flavors, there’s no denying the influence and creativity of the first cook to reach for a can of 7UP instead. Even if you’re not keen on making your own from scratch, these days, you can find grab-and-go options at stores around the country.
