- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups 7up, divided
For the frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions
To make the cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1/2 cup of the 7up, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 20 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the vanilla and mix until combined. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
To assemble the cake: Place one of the layers on a cake plate. Spread the top with frosting. Place the second layer on top and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
