Hawaiian Supreme Cake
A moist, flavorful cake with a citrus twist, combining lemon and vanilla flavors, perfect for celebrations or sweet gatherings with a light, fluffy texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift the cake mix and vanilla pudding together.
- Add eggs, one at a time, then add salad oil and 7-Up.
- Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into 3 or 4 greased cake pans.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 30 to 35 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a moist texture, consider substituting half of the salad oil with unsweetened applesauce. You can also use a clear lemon soda if 7-Up is unavailable. To enhance the flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest. Remember to check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the cake is fully baked. This cake is reminiscent of other American recipes that focus on simplicity and delightful flavors.
Serving Suggestions
This cake is delightful on its own but can be enhanced with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of lemon glaze. Serve it with fresh fruit or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a refreshing dessert. It pairs beautifully with Spiced Date Cake for a sweet treat spread, making it perfect for gatherings or family celebrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different flavor of cake mix?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of cake mix, such as orange or vanilla, to create variations of the Hawaiian Supreme Cake. Just keep in mind that the soda flavor will influence the final taste, so choose a complementary flavor for the best results.
How can I make this cake more festive for a party?
To make the Hawaiian Supreme Cake more festive, consider adding a layer of whipped cream and fresh fruit on top or between the layers. You could also decorate it with colorful sprinkles or edible flowers to enhance its appearance for special occasions.
What can I do if my cake is too dry after baking?
