Cherry 7-up cake with cherry glaze

* I use this glaze on my beer cakes * YUMMY!

Ingredients:
3 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz. Cherry 7Up
3 cups cake flour
1/2 cup of Maraschino Cherry, finely chopped
4 oz. Maraschino Cherry Juice

Cherry Glaze:
1 stick butter
2 cups confectioner's sugar
4 oz. Maraschino Cherry Juice

Directions:
Cream eggs, butter and sugar. In three rounds, alternate adding 7Up and flour into the mixture. Add cherries and juice. Mix well. Grease bundt cake pan thoroughly. Then, pour cake mixture into the pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 50 minutes to an hour or until cake tester runs dry. Remove from pan and cool before glazing.

In the meantime, make the glaze on a separate mixing bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until it is nice and smooth. Use a cake decorator or a pipping device such as a freezer bag by cutting off one of the corners. Fill the decorator tube or freezer bag with the glaze and refrigerate. Once cake completely cools, drizzle glaze all over it. Extra glaze can be used as a finishing touch when cake is served. Enjoy!
