Shirley Temple Bundt Cake

Shirley temple bundt cake is a 7Up flavored cake with cherries mixed into the batter which is baked up nice and golden. It’s then poked and poured with cherry juice and glazed with a delicious sweet lemon glaze.

Drain the cherries before you add them to the batter, but be sure to reserve the cherry juice. You’ll poke holes in the baked cakes and pour that sweet juice in.
