Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a standard bundt pan generously with butter or cooking spray, then dust with flour to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to combine evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the 7 Up soda. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Slice and serve as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
