7UP Pound cake substitute (cake recipe, sugar, vanilla, eggs)

[CSD610]

If anyone has made the 7UP Pound cake which I have not, do you think I could substitute Sierra Mist Naturals pop for the 7UP?

I'm interested in the recipe as well!

I used to make a pound cake when I was younger that had 12 eggs and I can't find it anywhere!

Oh my gosh that is a lot of eggs. Do most pound cakes call for a dozen eggs? There goes my cholesterol. What--you aren't supposed to eat the whole cake in one sitting???

Does this sound familiar?

Butter Cake Or 12 Eggs Cake Recipe

I think the original "pound" cake had a pound of eggs, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour, and a pound of butter.

How many eggs make a pound?

How many eggs are in a pound

I have no clue because I have never made pound cake but I do not use margarine so I am using butter myself when I make it.
