Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 5 pieces Large eggs
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Lemon extract
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup 7 Up soda
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Stir in the lemon extract and vanilla extract to enhance the cake's flavor.
Slowly pour in the 7 Up soda and gently fold it into the batter using a spatula. The carbonation in the soda helps keep the cake moist and light.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Slice and serve your homemade 7 Up Cake for a delightful dessert!
