• Make sure that your pan is nice & deep because this recipe makes a nice deep cake. Beating the egg whites separately til stiff plus the amount of 7UP can dictate the cake size. You can also lightly dust this cake with a little powdered sugar for an extra effect on top of the drizzle and of course extra sweetness.
