Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 cup 7 Up soda
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Gradually mix in the flour, beating on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the lemon extract, lime zest, and 7 Up soda. Mix gently until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 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 10 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top. Let the glaze set for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
