| A ShoeBox Recipe |
This old ShoeBox Recipe
is an oldie from the past.
I remember it being popular in the Sixties and
Seventies.
It uses part of a Seven-Up Soft drink as an ingredient, but
any carbonated Lemon/Lime flavored soft drink will do in the recipe.
It is easy to make and tastes great.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups Sugar
1/2 lb. Butter
1/2 cup Crisco
5 large Eggs,
mixed
3 cups Flour,
plain
1 tbs. Baking
Powder
1 tsp. Vanilla
flavoring
1 tsp. Lemon
flavoring
3/4 cup Seven-Up Soda
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Cream the Butter, Crisco and Sugar together for
two minutes.
2.
Add the Eggs, Flour, Baking Powder and
flavorings to the mixture one at a time while stirring constantly, until well
blended.
3.
Fold in the Seven-Up.
4.
Pour the mixture into a well-buttered cake pan.
5.
Bake in a preheated 325F oven for 1-1/4 hours,
or until done (using toothpick method)
6.
Remove from the oven and let cool before
removing from the pan.
NOTE: Toothpick
method= Stick a toothpick into the center of the cake and if there is cake mix
stuck to the toothpick, then the Cake is not done.
