7-Up Bundt Cake

I again had the chance to prove myself as a baker.

I was looking for a possible simple but delicious cake recipe for two greenhorn and two adults. I chose the 7 Up Bundt Cake, from the book of my pastry chef. Cheerful, I started looking to get all the ingredients together. Then i was ready to start . In a bowl, I stirred together cream, butter and sugar, that was so far easy,  at next  then I stirred in eggs for egg one after the other what ended with a huge tennis elbow and elbow pain! Could not know that stir dough is so stressful. But -happy faces are the reward for all the trouble, especially when everyone says: This is the best cake I have ever eaten.
