I love the typical desserts like apple pie, chocolate cake or lemon meringue pie but there are a few sweet treats that are staples in my home that I make every opportunity I get. These soul food dessert recipes will have your tastebuds wanting more.

Seven Up Pound Cake

7Up Pound Cake is made with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. It is my favorite pound cake. I top mine with a light sugar icing. The pound cake goes great with ice cream.
